Tips for passengers
The 152 runs less often than the busiest lines, so check the time before setting out, particularly at weekends. A weekday trip of about an hour is typical, so plan for that in your day. The stations named along the route, including Colliers Wood, South Wimbledon and Raynes Park, can help if you need to change. Queens Road New Malden is named as a stop just before the terminus, so look for it when you travel to New Malden.
