Epsom by train
Trains from London to Epsom are slow but are still quicker than the road journey. The average journey time of 36 minutes is unimpressive for an 18 mile journey, but at least trains depart frequently. Two timetables combined provide eight trains an hour between London and Epsom from Monday to Saturday, and four an hour on Sundays and Bank Holidays. The fastest times are 33 minutes from London Victoria station (operated by Southern Railway ) and 35 minutes from London Waterloo station (operated by South West Trains ). An additional hourly service to Epsom, from London Victoria, takes passengers on a 51 minute circuitous route via West Croydon. Southern Railway also operates a handful of peak-hour commuter trains to London Bridge, which also take 50-55 minutes.
The direct lines from London Waterloo and London Victoria both pass through Clapham Junction, before diverging and meeting again at Epsom, so you can switch trains at Clapham if you want. The London Waterloo line goes through Wimbledon. From London Victoria the train takes a more easterly route via Mitcham Junction.
Epsom station is outside the London Travelcard area, but Travelcards are available from Epsom station.
Two rail routes approach Epsom from the south. There are two trains an hour from Guildford (for connections from Portsmouth and Reading) and four an hour from the picturesque town of Dorking. Further south there is a rail link to the West Sussex coast via Horsham operated by only one hourly train that continues beyond Dorking. The English Channel is 50 miles due south of Epsom.
