History
The station at Barnes 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.
Grade II listed,[2] it was designed by the architect John Thomas Emmett[4] 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.[2] 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 1 December 1955.
In 2023, work began to install an accessible footbridge with lifts to enable step-free access to all platforms.[5]
