Additional rail services during the morning and evening rush hours will start from Richmond’s stations this weekend.

South West Trains (SWT) has revealed the details of its winter timetable - which will come into effect on Sunday, December 14, and be in place until May 16 - and there will be extra services from many borough stations.

The rail operator will now run a 07:54 service from Richmond to Ascot calling at Twickenham, Feltham, Ashford, Staines and Egham before forming a service to Guilford at Ascot.

It also confirmed the news reported in the Richmond and Twickenham Times in September of a new 17:52 Teddington to London Waterloo, via Kingston and Wimbledon, service on weekday evenings and to extend the 06:29 service from Kingston to Waterloo via Teddington and Richmond so it starts at Wimbledon.

Stewart Palmer, SWT managing director, said: “The changes to the timetable are only minor alterations but are made in order to make a positive difference to our passengers’ journeys.”
