Kempton Park is only around 600 metres (660 yd) from Sunbury station, the shortest distance between two stations on the line. Until June 2006 it opened only for event days at Kempton Park Racecourse; since then, following the increase in racing days and after consultation with the Jockey Club, it has had stopping services every day.[1]

Services

The week-day off-peak service is two trains an hour to London Waterloo via Kingston and two trains an hour to Shepperton; the first up train to stop at Kempton Park is at 09:17, a few hours after the first up train runs through the station.
