Coulsdon South station was opened by the South Eastern Railway in October 1889. The line is on a steep gradient climbing towards Merstham Tunnel. It was originally called Coulsdon and Cane Hill, referring to the nearby Cane Hill Hospital - see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cane_Hill_Hospital Coulsdon South station is on the original Brighton Line, opened in two stages in 1841. To the west is the so-called Quarry Line, built by the London, Brighton & South Coast Railway as an avoiding line between Coulsdon North and Earlswood and which is still used by fast trains avoiding Redhill. It was opened on 8th November 1899. This is the approach to the station from Reddown Road.
