Is Hampton Court Station going to close?

Not permanently, but the application involves a lot of building work,
including moving the car park underground, so I'd expect a lot of
disruption (I don't think there's a Hampton Court-Esher bus link
any more, so these tickets are presumably for car-borne
commuters).

There is such a link but it's useless: 513 Kingston-Hampton
Court-Esher-Cobham-Downside 3 buses a day.

Also, for some mysterious reason appears that this only calls at
Hampton Court _Station_ going towards Esher, but not on the
return journey.

I suppose a commuter might
live or park their car at some point where both stations (2 miles apart
by road) are a reasonable choice
....

There are the residential roads south of the Ember (though you'd make
yourself unpopular parking there) - but, if you were doing that, I'd
have
thought it would make more sense to walk to Thames Ditton station
rather than all the way to Hampton Court. Also Thames Ditton station
is connected to Esher by both the 513 bus and the 515
Kingston - Thames Ditton - Esher - Guildford service.

Is an Esher-or-Thames Ditton to London season available?
Not sure where to look online that doesn't want me to register.

Thanks
