History
It was opened on 16 October 1933 to serve large housing developments, which gave the station its name.[3] 90% of the cost of the station was financed by the local developers to enhance the attractiveness of the new estate to commuters.[4]
A modern ground level station (1969) is connected by stairs to the platforms, which are on the outer tracks of the four-track main line. Berrylands is one of the few stations around the London area still constructed with wooden platforms,[5] although the platforms had an extension in 2014.[6]
Network Rail temporarily closed the station on Monday 11 May 2026,[7] and it is planned to remain as such until late September 2026[7]. This is to replace the original wooden platforms, and to upgrade the rest of the station.[6][8] The closure will also allow for an upgrade to the station facilities, including new lighting, help points, CCTV, and Customer Information Screens.[9][10] During this time, South Western Railway are providing half-hourly rail replacement bus services between New Malden and Berrylands, and between Berrylands and Surbiton (and vice versa in both cases), with approximate journey times of 12 minutes in either direction.[10]
