Fulwell railway station on the Shepperton Branch Line serves Fulwell[n 1] in the London Borough of Richmond upon Thames. It is in Travelcard Zone 6. It is Script error: No such module "convert". down the line from Template:Stn.

The station and all trains serving it are operated by South Western Railway. It is situated in a cutting without direct access to main roads and thus not easy to find; a view of it can be obtained from the overbridge in Stanley Road, Teddington; road access can be gained via Wellington Gardens, off Wellington Road, between Fulwell and Hampton Hill; nevertheless it is the nearest station to Hampton Hill, which does not have its own station even though the Shepperton branch passes through it.

History

The Shepperton Branch or Thames Valley Line, opened on 1 November 1864, accessed from the Strawberry Hill direction only. The original scheme intended that it would extend to a terminus on the Middlesex bank of the River Thames just east of Chertsey Bridge but this plan was abandoned in 1862.[1]

The curve from Fulwell to Teddington opened to freight on 1 July 1894 and first carried passengers on 1 June 1901. The branch line was electrified on 30 January 1916 (at the same time as the Kingston Loop). Since a change under British Rail the large majority of Shepperton branch services have been routed via Kingston upon Thames, retaining additional peak hour services via Twickenham.

The station has never had goods facilities, but did handle parcels in the past.

The station was expected to be a calling point of Crossrail 2. That project was shelved in 2020, but the route remains safeguarded for any future revival.
