Peckham Rye station

Peckham Rye is an unusual station, being really two separate stations, since 1923 combined into one. The more northerly pair of platforms, now 3 and 4, lie on the ex-LCD line from Victoria which (originally) ran to Crystal Palace (High Level) and Greenwich Park. At the eastern end, both these lines have been closed and now the line goes to Lewisham. The southerly part of the station (platforms 1 and 2) is an island platform, (originally this part had side platforms as well) on the ex-LBSC South London line. This photograph is taken on the South London side looking westwards with a Class 455 unit just having departed on its way to Victoria.
