Upper Halliford railway station serves the village of Upper Halliford in Surrey, England. It is 17 miles 34 chains (28.0 km) down the line from London Waterloo.

The station and all trains serving it are operated by South Western Railway.

History[edit]

Upper Halliford Halt was opened on 1 May 1944 by Southern for the Windmill Road industrial zone which then had a wartime factory of the British Thermostat Company, manufacturing munitions. The second platform was opened on 6 May 1946.[1]

Station layout[edit]

The platforms are linked by a concrete footbridge. There is no staffed ticket office, just ticket machines.

Platform 2, the down platform, with services towards Shepperton, was rebuilt in November 2021.[2]

There is footpath access from the residential end of Upper Halliford Road as well as two sloping paths from the west side of the Upper Halliford Road bridge. There is also a footpath giving access to the north side of Nursery Road.

Services[edit]

The weekday off-peak service from the station is:

From Monday to Saturday, four additional early morning rush-hour trains to Waterloo are routed via Twickenham and Richmond. Three additional evening rush-hour trains from Waterloo arrive via that route.

On Sundays services, hourly only, start later and finish earlier than other days.[3]
