Brockley railway station

Brockley railway station is on the main railway line between London Bridge and Brighton: the line was part of the London and Croydon Railway opened in 1839. The station was opened on 6 March 1871, although today's buildings are of a modern design: the platforms are only located on the outer, Slow lines, since the station is only served by local trains between London and Caterham; between London and West Croydon, and by the London Bridge to London Victoria loop line via Crystal Palace. It is in Travelcard Zone 2.

At the London end the line is crossed by the Nunhead to Lewisham line. This was originally a London, Chatham and Dover Railway branch to Greenwich, which had been closed in 1917. The connection of that line to Lewisham is a later development.
