History
The station was opened by the Metropolitan District Railway (MDR, now the District Line) on 3 June 1889 on an extension from Putney Bridge station to Wimbledon. The extension was built by the London and South Western Railway (L&SWR) which, starting on 1 July 1889, ran its own trains over the line via an eastward-facing loop that joins the Clapham Junction to Barnes mainline.

Station Layout The junction between the District Line tracks and what is now the National Rail loop to the main line is immediately to the south of the station. Two pairs of tracks (one pair for each operator) run through the station giving it a narrow Y-shape arrangement with a shared central island platform and two separate platforms across the tracks for opposite. The station entrance and buildings are positioned between the two arms of the Y. The isolated National Rail platform is disused and overgrown. National Rail uses the BR double-arrow logo National Rail is a brand name of the Association of Train Operating Companies (ATOC). ...
Although no longer used for passenger services, the National Rail connection to the Clapham Junction line remains in place and is still used periodically to transfer trains to the engineering works at Wimbledon. North of the station, the eastbound tracks of the branch formerly crossed over the tracks of the Clapham Junction line via a bridge then ran parallel with the main line on a viaduct for some distance before merging with the tracks at a junction to the east of Putney Bridge Road (A3209). This link is no longer used and connections are made by the former westbound branch track which operates two-way running. The deck of the unused bridge has been removed although the central piers and the abutments of the viaduct remain. Torontos Bloor Street Viaduct bridges the Don valley; road traffic uses the upper deck, rail traffic uses the lower deck. ...
