Kempton Park railway station, in the Spelthorne district of Surrey, is on the Shepperton branch line. The station and all trains serving it are operated by South West Trains.

Until June 2006 it opened only for events at Kempton Park Racecourse, but since then it has had a daily service.

[edit] Services

The week-day off-peak service is two trains an hour to London Waterloo via Kingston and two trains an hour to Shepperton. None of the branch peak-hour services via Richmond stops at Kempton Park. A Monday to Friday morning peak-hour service is notably lacking; the first up train to stop at Kempton Park is at 09:18, nearly four hours after the first up train runs through the station. The first up service on Saturday and on Sunday is at 06:18 and 07:18 respectively. The Sunday service is one train an hour each way.
