The West Croydon to Sutton line opened on 10th May 1847 by the London, Brighton & South Coast Railway as part of the Croydon to Epsom railway and this was the first railway in the present London Borough of Sutton. After the First World War the various lines were electrified , including the line between Victoria and Sutton via West Croydon in 1925. This is the view from Plough Lane bridge, near Bandon Hill Cemetery, looking in the direction of Waddon station.
