North Sheen railway 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.
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[1]. It has also seen a boost in passenger numbers with the recent completion of the nearby spacious and much-admired 'Railway Cottages' development[2].
