The TM&WR comprised two lines: the Wimbledon branch, linking the LB&SCR's line at Streatham to the LSWR's line at Wimbledon; and the Merton branch, linking the Wimbledon branch at Tooting to the LB&SCR's Croydon to Wimbledon line at Merton Park.
On the Wimbledon branch, the railway served Wimbledon station and had intermediate stations at Tooting Junction and Haydons Road. On the Merton branch, it served stations at Merton Park and Merton Abbey.
