History

The Shepperton branch opened to passengers with a single track on 1 November 1864. Its promoters' scheme first intended to link this to what became today's District line and potentially to Woking railway station. A second scheme (abandoned 1862) intended it to extend to the Middlesex bank of the Thames east of Chertsey Bridge to serve the established town of Chertsey.[1] The curve linking Fulwell and Teddington initially opened to freight on 1 July 1894 and then carried passengers on 1 June 1901 as the replacement principal route. The line was electrified on 30 January 1916.
