London Waterloo station〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Station facilities for London Waterloo )〕 is a central London railway terminus and London Underground station complex in the Waterloo area of the London Borough of Lambeth.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Stations Run by Network Rail )〕 It is one of 19 stations managed by Network Rail and is located near the South Bank of the River Thames, in fare zone 1. A railway station on this site first came into being in July 1848; the present structure was inaugurated in 1922. Part of the station is a Grade II listed building. With just under 100 million passenger entries and exits between April 2013 and March 2014, Waterloo is Britain's busiest railway station by passenger usage. The Waterloo complex is the 15th busiest passenger terminal in Europe, and the 91st busiest railway station in the world.〔(More Countries Join the New List of 100 Busiest Train Stations, Japan Still Claims 82 of Them )〕 It has more platforms and a greater floor area than any other station in the United Kingdom (though Clapham Junction, just under down the line, has the largest number of trains). Waterloo is the Central London terminus for South West Trains providing the majority of commuter/regional services to South West London, Surrey, Hampshire, Dorset and parts of Berkshire. Major destinations served include Wimbledon, Epsom, Dorking, Guildford, Woking, Basingstoke, Winchester, Southampton, Salisbury, Portsmouth, Bournemouth, Weymouth and Exeter. Much of Waterloo's traffic is local or suburban. All regular services are operated by South West Trains. Adjacent is Waterloo East station, which is managed and branded separately. The station was the London terminus for Eurostar international trains from 1994 until 2007, when they were transferred to St Pancras International. ==History== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「London Waterloo station」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
