Fulwell railway station on theShepperton Branch Line servesFulwell[n 1] in theLondon Borough of Richmond upon Thames. It is inLondon fare zone 6. It is 12 miles 75 chains (20.8 km) down the line fromLondon Waterloo.
The station and all trains serving it are operated bySouth 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 toHampton Hill, which does not have its own station even though the Shepperton branch passes through it.
TheShepperton Branch or Thames Valley Line, opened on 1 November 1864, accessed from theStrawberry Hill direction only. The original scheme intended that it would extend to a terminus on theMiddlesex bank of theRiver Thames just east ofChertsey Bridge but this plan was abandoned in 1862.[2]
The curve from Fulwell toTeddington opened to freight on 1 July 1894 and first carried passengers on 1 June 1901. The branch line waselectrified on 30 January 1916 (at the same time as the Kingston Loop). Since a change underBritish Rail the large majority of Shepperton branch services have been routed viaKingston upon Thames, retaining additional peak hour services viaTwickenham.
The station has never had goods facilities, but did handle parcels in the past.
The station was expected to be a calling point ofCrossrail 2. That project was shelved in 2020, but the route remains safeguarded for any future revival.
All services at Fulwell are operated bySouth Western Railway.
