Trains to Vauxhall - Station Details and further Information on the Vauxhall Area
Vauxhall station is a National Rail, London Underground and London Buses interchange station. It is at the Vauxhall Cross road junction opposite the southern approach to Vauxhall Bridge over the River Thames in the London district of Vauxhall. The station is on the boundary of zones 1 and 2 of the London Travelcard area.
The National Rail station was opened by the London and South Western Railway as "Vauxhall Bridge Station" on 11 July 1848 when the main line was extended from Nine Elms to Waterloo, then "Waterloo Bridge Station". It is on a viaduct and now has eight platforms. Few trains use the inner platforms as their tracks are used by suburban and longer distance trains which pass through without stopping. There is a frequent service of trains to London Waterloo and to the suburbs of south-west London.
The bus station is above ground across the road from the rail station with a photovoltaic roof supplying its electricity requirement. It is the second busiest London bus station after that at London Victoria. The deep tube London Underground station opened on 23 July 1971.
Vauxhall rail station is served by South West Trains services to and from London Waterloo. |
