Trains to Crystal Palace - Station Details and further Information on Crystal Palace Train Services
Crystal Palace train station is in the London Borough of Bromley in south London. It is located in the Anerley area between the town centres of Crystal Palace and Penge. Regular train services which serve Crystal Palace today comprise three different routes, each of which run two trains per hour in each direction, all operated by Southern. These run between:
1. London Victoria and West Croydon
2. London Victoria and London Bridge (the outer South London Line service)
3. London Bridge and Beckenham Junction
Alternative routes run at peak hours, and the latter two do not run during late evenings, when route 1 listed above is also extended to Epsom and Epsom Downs. This is also the only route to run during Sunday service, when it is extended to Sutton. Crystal Palace is one of the termini on the new southern extension of the East London Line making the station part of Transport for London's London Overground network.
To accommodate the additional East London Line services, and to provided disabled access to all platforms of the station, substantial works are required at the station. A planning application was submitted to Bromley Council in February 2009, which will include alterations to the Victorian booking hall building, removal of the current ticket office, removal of the pedestrian bridge over Platforms 1 and 2 and new stairs to Platform 1. The original entrance and ticket hall will be brought back into use, with three lifts installed to provide access to the platforms and a new canopy will be installed over platforms 3-7. |
