Twickenham railway station is in Twickenham in the London Borough of Richmond upon Thames, and is in Travelcard Zone 5. The station and all trains serving it are operated by South West Trains.
History
The original station, built after the Gothic plan on the west side of the London Road, was opened by the London and Windsor Railway on 22 August 1848. [The Times, Thursday 24 August 1848]
Preparatory work for rebuilding by the Southern Railway in its "Southern Odeon" style on the east of London Road was halted by the outbreak of the second World War, with most trackwork and the vertical edgings of the five planned through platforms in place. After the war some platforms were made level for Rugby watchers' trains which were hand-flagged through the embryonic station. It was not until 28 March 1954 that the present slight station was brought into use with three through tracks inconveniently having the two up lines on facing platform faces. The track at platform 1 is disconnected and like that of platform 2 stops at a causeway which allows Rugby spectators to reach platform 3 from the car park avoiding the station building.
Access
For passengers who cannot use stairs, platform 3 may be reached across the causeway from the car park. A stairlift goes from the road-level footbridge to platforms 4 and 5.
Services
The typical off-peak service from the station is:
12 trains per hour to London Waterloo, of which:
* 8 run direct via Richmond and Clapham Junction
* 2 run via Kingston and Wimbledon
* 2 run via Hounslow
plus
* 2 trains per hour to Reading
* 2 trains per hour to Windsor and Eton Riverside
