In this view from the footbridge near Coulsdon Town station, the fast lines are nearer the camera and the slow lines are beyond. Coulsdon North station was located here, straddling all four tracks. It was opened as 'Stoats Nest and Cane Hill' in 1899 and went through several different names before being closed as Coulsdon North in 1983. It is only a very short walk to Smitham (now Coulsdon Town) station (see http://www.geograph.ie/photo/3045242 ) and this was one of the reasons it was closed.
