Wimbledon is an interchange station in the centre of Wimbledon in London for London Underground, London Trams and National Rail services, and is the only station in London that provides an interchange between the London Underground and Tramlink.
It serves as a junction for services from the Underground's District line, two National Rail operators (South Western Railway and Thameslink), and Tramlink services. The station is in Travelcard Zone 3. It is 7 miles 19 chains (11.6 km) from London Waterloo on the South West Main Line.
The station has 11 platforms. Platforms 1–4 are for London Underground, platforms 5 and 8 are for inner suburban South Western Railway services, platform 9 is for Thameslink and platforms 10a and 10b are for Tramlink. Platforms 6 and 7 are adjacent to the fast tracks intended for express and outer suburban South Western Railway services, but most of these services only call at Wimbledon during the Wimbledon Tennis Championships or on Sundays for outer suburban services. Access to these platforms is via sliding gates through safety fencing installed in March 2014.[9]
