Trains to Herne Hill - Station Details and further Information on Herne Hill Train Services
Herne Hill train station is in Herne Hill, a location in the London Borough of Lambeth, South London, England. The station is above road level near the junction of five main roads, between Railton Road and Milkwood Road. There is no entrance in Milkwood Road, but there is a corridor between the two roads, from which it is possible to enter the station. There is a bus stop in front of the station entrance. There are four platforms.
The original brick buildings at street level, with arched window decoration, are still a feature. The more modern buildings on the two island platforms provide faces to the main lines and the Up and Down passenger loops. The platform on the Up (northbound) side includes a coffee bar and waiting room for connecting passengers; there are fewer facilities on the Down (southbound) side.
There is a flat junction at each end of the station; Herne Hill North Junction, where the lines to Loughborough Junction and Brixton diverge;, and Herne Hill South Junction, where the lines to West Dulwich and Tulse Hill diverge.
The station was opened by the London, Chatham and Dover Railway, as part of its main access route to London Victoria station, on 25 August 1862. The station is served by South Eastern Trains to south east London and Kent and by First Capital Connect trains from Luton to Wimbledon via Sutton. Until the First World war, some main line trains were divided and joined at Herne Hill. |
