Surbiton is a suburban area of south-west London within the Royal Borough of Kingston upon Thames. Surbiton is situated next to the River Thames, 11.0 miles south west of central London. urbiton was formerly within the County of Surrey, but became part of Greater London in 1965 following the London Government Act 1963, together with many areas including neighbouring Kingston and Richmond. Surbiton possesses a mixture of Art-Deco courts, more recent residential blocks and grand 19th century townhouses blending into a sea of semi-detached 20th century housing estates.
Surbiton railway station opened in 1838, and was originally named Kingston-upon-Railway. It was only renamed Surbiton to distinguish it from the new Kingston railway station on the Shepperton branch line, which opened on 1 January 1869. The present station has an art deco façade. As a result, Kingston is now on a branch line, whereas passengers from Surbiton (smaller in comparison) can reach London Waterloo in about 15 minutes on a fast direct service; as well as places further afield, including Portsmouth and Southampton. It was once home to Surbiton Studios which were owned by Stoll Pictures, before the company shifted its main production to Cricklewood Studios.
Surbiton is served by a number of regular bus services. London Buses routes 71, 281, 406, 418, 465, K1, K2, K3 and K4 and Surrey Bus Routes 514 and 515 all serve the area. Surbiton railway station provides rail links with London (Waterloo), Surrey and Hampshire.
Surbiton station features in the 2009 film version of Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Blood Prince, with actors Daniel Radcliffe as Harry Potter and Michael Gambon as Albus Dumbledore. Surbiton is popularly remembered as an icon of suburbia in such British television programmes as The Good Life.

South Western Railway Trains at Weybridge and Surbiton on May 4th 2019
My 1st visit to both Weybridge and Surbiton on the South Western Main Line featuring South Western Railway Trains.
Weybridge first opened on May 21st 1838 by the London and Southampton Railway which has 3 platforms with Platforms 1 and 2 served by services from Woking and Basingstoke whilst Platform 3 is used by terminating services from London Waterloo via Hounslow via the Chertsey Branch Line.
The Chertsey Branch Line opened 10 years later in 1848 as far as Chertsey with it reaching Virginia Water connecting with the Staines, Wokingham and Windsor Junction Railway on October 1st 1866.
The junction where the Chertsey Loop which is more commonly reffered too has a triangular layout dating from opening between 1885 and 1887 with the other end being connected at Byfleet Junction
The service pattern over the branch is Monday - Saturdays to Weybridge however on Sundays the other side of the junction is used for Woking services.
There was originally a triangular layout similar at Virginia Water however the connection to the Ascot Line was closed in 1966.
Surbiton station's building of Grade II listed and modernist style is the main feature of the station along with the 5 platforms.
The station opened by the London and Southampton Railway in 1838 as Kingston. Todays site dates from 1845 which is 0.5 miles west of the original when it first opened.
The Hampton Court Line was opened in 1848 with the New Guildford Line via Cobham opening a year later in 1849.
The station was renamed in 1852 as Kingston Junction, Surbiton and Kingston in 1863 before becoming Surbiton in 1867 with the station be rebuilt by the Southern Railway in 1937.
It's served by services from Hampton Court, Guildford, Basingstoke and Alton with a mixture of Class 450s, 455 and, 456s.
The station was Grade II listed in 1983
At the time of filming the Class 455s and 456s are on borrowed time and are due to be replaced by 2020 with new Class 701s built by Bombardier in Derby which also will replace Class 458s and Class 707s although the latter only entered service in 2016.

70013 Oliver Cromwell @75mph past Surbiton Up Dorset Coast Express 15 Aug 2012
British Railways 7P6F Britannia Class No: 70013 Oliver Cromwell storms past Surbiton at 75-80mph on the South Western Main Line at the head of the Railway Touring Company Up Dorset Coast Express from Weymouth to London-Waterloo. Ollie was absolutely awesome, just listen to the whistle as Ollie roared towards me. It is Wednesday 13th August 2012 at 20:29 and Ollie was right on time.
It was a lovely evening with quite a nice sunset. Perfect conditions. Oliver Cromwell was following the 19:39 South Western fast service from Haslemere to London-Waterloo and has the 18:06 South Western Weymouth to London-Waterloo close behind the drivers of steam specials can really gun their charges. This one certainly did. I think I've only filmed one steam special as fast. Earl of Mount Edgcumbe at Harrow & Wealdstone on 21st May 2011. I filmed free-hand and the wind moved me off my feet as you'll see from the film.
From Surbiton, Oliver Cromwell headed North up the South Western main line passing through Wimbledon, Clapham Junction and Vauxhall before arriving at London-Waterloo. Ollie was a late substitution for Britannia and Sir Lamiel who, I believe are not currently fit for main-line running.
Trivia time. This was the 57th Up main-line steam excursion of 2012 in the London area. At this stage last year, 17th August 2011 there had been 67. The impact of the Olympic Steam ban has hit hard. This was the 7th Up London run by Ollie in 2012. At this stage last year Ollie had appeared 8 times in London on Up specials.
This is the 14th Railway Touring Company Up steam special in London this year, 5 less than last year. This was the 5th Up steam special to pass through Surbiton. This is 4 less than last year.
Surbiton is a 5-track, 4-platform station. Platform 1 faces the Up relief, Platform 2, where I stood for Oliver Cromwell, the Up Fast. Platform 3 faces the Down relief No: 1 and Platform 4 faces the Down Relief No: 2. Track 3 is the Down Fast Line and has no platform.
Platform 1 receives about 10 South Western Trains stopping trains per hour, all bound for London-Waterloo. About 7 fast trains per hour pass Platform 2 all bound for London-Waterloo. 9 trains per hour pass by on Track 3, all South-West Trains. There was 1 for Haslemere, 2 for Exeter-St.David's, 2 for Portsmouth Harbour, 1 for Weymouth, 1 for Southampton-Central, 1 for Portsmouth & Southsea, and 1 for Poole
At Platform 3 there are 4 semi-fast South-West Trains per hour calling, bound for Alton(2) and Basingstoke(2). Finally, there are 6 South-West Metro Trains calling at Platform 4. Two are bound for Guildford via Claygate, two are bound for Hampton Court and two are bound for Woking.
The London & Southampton Railway opened its line from London-Nine Elms to Woking Common on 21st May 1838. One of the six original stations was a simple two-track structure called Kingston and was North of where the current station stands. One year after opening Kingston Station the London & Southampton Railway became the London & South Western Railway. 6 years after te LSWR came into existence (1845) Kingston Station was moved to the current site of Surbiton Station. Ten years after it opened Kingston Station became a junction station as the London & South Western opened the branch to Hampton Court. That was on 1st February 1849.
Clan Line on Friday on the VSOE Excursion. Plan to film it coming back from Oxford at Brentford.

Trains @ Surbiton Part 2017
This ain't my first trip to Surbiton, as I' was there before to recorded another video and there another time to watch some trains at the station, so it's definitely grown on me.
This station is pretty much one of the best non-terminal stations in London, all things considered.
There's toilets for both genders on both sets of platforms, a cafe, stairs that are supposed to work with the flow of passengers at this station, shelters that were mostly made out of 1930's architecture and the station looking like it could be an underground station.
Besides all of those very good things, it's also on the South Western Main Line, meaning that it would gurantee that there would be lots of trains there during the 40 minutes I was at the station.
Since there was a signal failure at Thames Ditton, trains to Hampton Court were reversing here and since this station wasn't even considered to be an terminal station, the reversing trains blocked some of the lines.
35028 Clan Line hurries through Surbiton. Up The Royal Wessex. 27-Apr-2012.MOV
British Railways re-built Merchant Navy Class No: 35028 Clan Line hurries North through Surbiton at the head of the United Kingdom Rail Tours Up The Royal Wessex from Swanage to London-Waterloo, steam-hauled from Southampton to London-Waterloo. Clan Line hauled the Down train from London-Victoria to Swanage earlier today. It's had been a typical April day with heavy showers and bright sunlight but when I filmed Clan Line it was quite dark but dry. Its Friday 27th April 2012 at 21:34 and Clan Line was four minutes late.
Clan Line was rushing as it had the 18:06 South-West Trains service from Weymouth to London-Waterloo close behind. The Down train you see zipping past me is the 20:20 South-West Trains service from London-Waterloo to Exeter-St.David's.
From Surbiton, Clan Line headed North up the South Western main line passing through Wimbledon, Clapham Junction and Vauxhall before arriving at London-Waterloo. It was nice to see Clan Line not hauling a VSOE for a change.
Trivia time. This train was the 18th Up steam excursion of 2012 in the London area. Last year at this time there had been 23 Up excursions. This was the 9th Up run in 2012 by Clan Line, one more than this time last year. It's the 1st Up UK Rail Tour excursion around London of 2012, the same number as last year. Today's train was the 2nd Up steam special to run through Surbiton in 2012. There hadn't been any steam runs through Surbiton at this stage in 2011.
Surbiton is a 5-track, 4-platform station. Platform 1 faces the Up relief, Platform 2, where I stood for Clan Line, the Up Fast. Platform 3 faces the Down relief No: 1 and Platform 4 faces the Down Relief No: 2. Track 3 is the Down Fast Line and has no platform.
While I stood at Surbiton, Platform 1 received 10 South Western Trains, all stopping and all heading for London-Waterloo. 7 South West Trains passed Platform 2 heading for London-Waterloo and the 8th was Clan Line. 9 trains ran on Track 3 past Surbiton, all South-West Trains. There was 1 for Haslemere, 2 for Exeter-St.David's, 2 for Portsmouth Harbour, 1 for Weymouth, 1 for Southampton-Central, 1 for Portsmouth & Southsea, and 1 for Poole
At Platform 3 4 South-West Trains called. 2 were bound for Alton and 2 were bound for Basingstoke. Trains calling at Platform 3 are semi-fast trains that switch onto the Down fast at Hampton Court Junction. Finally there are 6 South-West Trains calling at Platform 4. Two are bound for Guildford via Claygate, two are bound for Hampton Court and two are bound for Woking.
The London & Southampton Railway opened its line from London-Nine Elms to Woking Common on 21st May 1838. One of the six original stations was a simple two-track structure called Kingston and was where today's Surbiton station stands. One year after opening Kingston Station the London & Southampton Railway became the London & South Western Railway. Ten years after it opened Kingston Station became a junction station as the London & South Western opened the branch to Hampton Court. That was on 1st February 1849.
