Barnes railway station is in the London Borough of Richmond upon Thames, in south London, and is in Travelcard Zone 3. The station and all trains serving it are operated by South West Trains.
The station, seven miles (11km) from Waterloo, was opened on 27 July 1846, when the line to Richmond was built. When the first section of the Hounslow Loop Line was opened on 22 August 1849, Barnes became a junction station. On the London side of the station there are four tracks; one pair turns off along the Loop Line here.
Grade II listed, it was designed by the architect William Tite in 1846, and is the only survivor of four brick-built Tudor Gothic-style stations on the Richmond branch, the others being Putney, Mortlake and Richmond. The ticket office, adjacent to Platform 1, is now privately owned.
The Barnes rail crash, in which 13 people were killed and 41 injured, occurred near this station on 2 December 1955.
It is the nearest station for Queen Mary's Hospital, Roehampton Club, Rosslyn Park F.C. grounds, and the University of Roehampton.
There are four platform faces: this is the general service pattern:
1: Local to London Waterloo (Next station Putney)
2: Express to London Waterloo (Trains do not generally stop)
3: Local to Hounslow (both routes), Teddington via Richmond & Weybridge via Brentford (Next station Mortlake or Barnes Bridge)
