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

Hi,

Thanks to all of you for the help.

Actually I want to travell on 20th Feb i.e. on comming Monday and would
prefer the cheapest route to Grandstand & Exhibition Center, Esher,
Surry. When I searched on www.multimap.co.uk for this place, it has
shown me the nearest railway stataion is Esher.

Would this K3 bus go to "Grandstand & Exhibition Center" or do I need
to change for another bus to this place?

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?


I assume you mean Esher in Surrey? You have not mentioned what day or
time you wish to travel.

Bus is easy - 65 to Kingston and then a K3 to Esher Town Centre. This is
a short walk away from the railway station at Esher. Transport for
London passes are valid on both of these buses. There is also a 218 bus
from Kingston that goes past Esher station - it is not a TfL service so
you will need to buy a cash fare.

You could take a R68 from Richmond to Hampton Court and then connect to
a local bus down (513) to Esher or catch a train from there to Thames
Ditton and walk.

The R68 accepts TfL passes but the 513 does not so you'd pay a cash fare
on that. Note that like a lot of buses in Surrey the 513 is not very
frequent and does not run every day.

More local info on transport services in Surrey is available via this
link. There are timetables and maps and the information is of a good
quality.

Will this help? http://www.sandown.co.uk/racecourse/directions.html I
assume you're going to the racecourse exhibition centre.

Sandown Park is virtually next to Esher station, there used to be
direct access to the course from the station at one time. It is a short
distance from Esher town centre however.
Depends on the time of day you wish to travel. If it is in the rush
hour the train is a better bet as the traffic around
Richmond/Kingston/Esher is chaotic and the schools are back next week.
buses are frequently very late running.
As Richmond tube and railway station are the same place. I would
suggest using NR Richmond-Clapham Junction then take a train to Esher.

There still is, but I think it's only on race days.

Absolutely the best route.

The K3 terminates in Esher High Street, but its only a 10 minute walk
from there to Sandown Park Grandstand (assuming that's where you mean).
