Wimbledon and Dorking Railway

The Wimbledon and Dorking Railway (W&DR) was an early railway company in southern England. It was independently promoted with the intention of penetrating into West Sussex, but it only succeeded in getting authorisation as far as Epsom. It joined the Epsom and Leatherhead Railway there, and opened in 1859. It was absorbed into the London and South Western Railway (LSWR) in 1862. It was electrified in 1925. Today it forms an important part of the Surrey commuter network rdf:langString
