Trains to North Sheen - Station Details and further Information on North Sheen Train Services
North Sheen train station is in the London Borough of Richmond upon Thames, in south London, and is in Travelcard Zone 3. The station was opened by the Southern Railway in 1930. It is not near Sheen but is on the eastern edge of Richmond. The station and all trains serving it are operated by South West Trains. Originally access to the island platforms was by a footbridge from both sides of the Manor Road level crossing, but now only that half of the bridge from the north remains. This was not as expected to re-instate the original bridge allowing access to the station from both sides but a new bridge on the opposite side to the station. Thus passengers wishing to gain access to the platforms from the south side of Manor road will need to use both the new and the existing bridge.
The station is a key transport hub, serving the Sheen area between Mortlake and Richmond stations on the South West Trains over-land rail service, and is the main stop-off point for commuters to the newly refurbished Richmond International Business Centre at Argyle House. It has also seen a boost in passenger numbers with the recent completion of the nearby spacious and much-admired 'Railway Cottages' development.
