Chessington North
The distincitve large canopies at Chessington North are typical of all the stations on the branch to Chessington South, seen here looking towards the latter on the afternoon of Saturday, 22nd October 2022. This station was opened on 29th May 1939 with the extension from Tolworth to Chessington South, Tolworth having been reached from Motspur Park exactly a year earlier. Before opening, it was to have been called Chessington Court but eventually the name Chessington North was settled on. NB: This is not and never has been a LPTB station, it was opened with the line by the post-Grouping Southern Railway.
