Dist:0.3km north<br/>This is an interesting photograph because it shows a temporary platform that had been erected at Shepperton, not for he use of passengers, but for testing the first sliding-door stock that was to be introduced onto British Rail's Southern Region. The new train, known as a 4-PEP, was intensively tested on the branch before going into public service. Along the edge of the temporary platform can be seen iron weights, which were put onto the new train as required to simulate the weight of passnegers the train would have to carry when in service. In the end, the new train was never put into large scale production, but it was the fore-runner of the Class 507 and 508 trains.

Dist:1.2km southwest<br/>The parish church of Shepperton stands some distance from what would now be considered the village centre – this is Old Shepperton, about ½ mile southwest from the main shopping area and railway station. It may be that the arrival of the railway drew the main business of the village nearer to the terminus.
