Default Local Transport from Richmond Tube Station to Esher National Rail Station

Hi,

Does anyone knows how to travel from Richmod Tube Station to Easher
National Rail Station by local transport like bus or tram (if any) or
may be anyother way?

Reagrds,

Prateek.


No trams, I'm afraid. The only trams in the London area are in the Croydon
district.

According to http://journeyplanner.tfl.gov.uk, the quickest way is usually
to use National Rail Richmond to Vauxhall, then back out to Esher. [You
could change at Clapham Junction, but Vauxhall is probably less confusing.]
There used to be a bus (65) from Richmond to Surbiton, but these days you
have to change in Kingston, so Richmond to Esher is two buses and a train
(and sometimes a walk between the two bus stations in Kingston).
Other journeys offered include train Richmond to Hampton Wick, then bus to
Surbiton, the train to Esher.

I don't think it would be worth getting a slower train from Richmond just
so you can change at Vauxhall. All the OP has to do is get a fast train
from Richmond to Clapham Junction non-stop, get off go to platform 11 and
get his train to Esher.

Totally agree that train is by the far best way, but it is considerably
quicker to change at Clapham Junction - the non-stop service does it in
only 8-9 minutes (and doesn't stop at Vauxhall).

Clapham Junction can indeed be confusing, but there are plenty of staff
to ask. Normally, trains from Richmond come into platform 3 (or 4).
Those for Esher leave from 11.
