Railway line in South-West London consisting of a loop with two tails. The western tail leaves the loop between [[Teddington Station|Teddington]] and [[Strawberry Hill Station|Strawberry Hill]] to terminate at Shepperton via [[Hampton Station|Hampton]], and the eastern tail leaves the loop at [[Clapham Junction Station|Clapham Junction]] to terminate at [[Waterloo Station|Waterloo]]. The main body of the loop encloses [[Richmond Park]] and [[Wimbledon Common]], and has a diameter of about 7km in the north-south direction and about 10km in the east-west direction. The north side of the loop between [[Barnes Station|Barnes]] and [[Twickenham Station|Twickenham]] is also the south side of the [[Category Hounslow Loop Line|Hounslow Loop Line]], and part of the main line down to Reading. Most services on the line start and finish at Waterloo, running in a one-tailed loop, while a smaller proportion of services follow the western tail off to Shepperton. During the week, 4 services per day go between Waterloo and Shepperton via Richmond - two to Waterloo in the morning, and 2 to Shepperton in the evening. Since trains run in both directions around the loop, this means that some Waterloo trains will be a lot faster than others; for example, if travelling from [[Kingston Station|Kingston]] to Waterloo, the trains via [[Wimbledon Station|Wimbledon]] will get you there quicker than the trains via [[Richmond Station|Richmond]].
