Earlsfield railway station (Earlsfield) is in the London Borough of Wandsworth in south London. The station, which is in Travelcard Zone 3, is operated by South West Trains, as are all the trains serving it. The name 'Earlsfield' originates from the name of the large Victorian residence formerly on the present site of the station. When the site was sold by the Davis family to the railway company one of the conditions of sale was that the station would be called 'Earlsfield'.

History

A 1912 Railway Clearing House map of lines around Earlsfield railway station

Opened by the London and South Western Railway it became part of the Southern Railway during the grouping of 1923. The station then passed to the Southern Region of British Railways on nationalisation in 1948.

When sectorisation was introduced in the 1980s, the station was served by Network SouthEast until the privatisation of British Railways.

Services

Platform view (1991)

The typical off-peak service from the station is:

16 tph (trains per hour) to London Waterloo via Clapham Junction
4 tph to Guildford, 2 via Surbiton and Cobham and 2 via Epsom and Leatherhead
2 tph to Chessington South
2 tph to Dorking via Epsom
2 tph to Hampton Court
2 tph to Shepperton
2 tph to Woking
2 tph to Waterloo via Kingston and Richmond

Trains to Clapham Junction/Waterloo depart from platform 2; trains going away from London depart from platform 3. Platform 1 is adjacent to the fast down line out of London, but none of the fast services operated by South West Trains call at Earlsfield, so this platform is only used occasionally when the line served by platform 3 is unavailable. As a result, access to this platform is through sliding gates through safety fencing installed in 2014.^[2]
