platforms one, two/three and four. The installation of a side entrance serving the Quadrant was completed in summer 2014. Wimbledon branch Parliamentary approval for a line from Wimbledon to Sutton had been obtained by the Wimbledon and Sutton Railway (W&SR) in 1910, but work had been delayed by the First World War. From the W&SR's inception, the District Railway (DR, now the District line) was a shareholder of the company and had rights to run trains over the line when built. In the 1920s, the Underground Electric Railways Company of London (UERL, precursor of London Underground) planned, through its ownership of the DR, to use part of the route for an extension of the City and South London Railway (C&SLR, now the Northern line) to Sutton. The SR objected and an agreement was reached that enabled the C&SLR to extend as far as Morden in exchange for the UERL giving up its rights over the W&SR route. The SR subsequently built the line, one of the last to be built in the London area. In both the 1910 and 1920s proposals, the next station towards Wimbledon was to be Cheam on Cheam Road, but the SR dropped this station and replaced it with West Sutton station. The line opened on 5 January 1930 when full services on the line were extended from South Merton. Services Services at Sutton are operated by Southern and Thameslink using and EMUs. The typical off-peak service in trains per hour is: 4 tph to (2 run via and 2 run via ) 2 tph to (non-stop from ) 4 tph to (2 of these run via Hackbridge and 2 run via ) 2 tph to 2 tph to 2 tph to of which 1 continues to During the peak hours, the station is served by an additional half-hourly service to London Victoria via Norbury and via Hackbridge. On Saturday evenings (after approximately 18:45) and on Sundays, there is no service south of Dorking to Horsham. Connections London Buses routes 80, 164, 280, 470, S1, S3 and S4, night route N44 and non-TFL route 420 serve the station. Future A planned extension to the Tramlink light rail or a separate bus rapid transit (BRT) system called the Sutton Link will create a new tram or BRT/rail interchange in Sutton, offering services to South Wimbledon via St Helier.
