Facilities

As Thames Ditton is an intermediate station, facilities at the station are relatively limited. There is a single-window ticket office within the station building, as well as a lone ticket machine on the 'up' platform. A small coffee kiosk service had been suspended, but resumed service in 2012, however it is only open during the morning peak times.

There is no station car park, and only a handful of static cycle racks are available. Station toilets are not advertised.

Bus services 513, 514, 515 and on Sundays 715 serve the station.

Future

As part of the proposed Crossrail 2 infrastructure, Hampton Court has been proposed by business group London First as the terminus for a potential service to Cheshunt via Central London, opening in the "early 2030s". However, it has not been confirmed as to whether or not this includes a scheduled stop at Thames Ditton.[4]
