The station was built by the Southern Railway in 1925 as part of the electrification of the route. It replaced the original Nunhead Junction station which was situated on the opposite side of Gibbon Road. There are some characteristic Southern Railway features on display - the W-shaped platform awning and the concrete fence panels are typical of that railway company. Interestingly, beyond the central area of the station and its awning the platforms are separate - presumably a cost saving measure. The train in the photo is the 10:27 (2E25) Thameslink service to Sevenoaks. Formed of two Class 319 units (319429 closest to camera) it departed West Hampstead Thameslink at 09:50 and is due in Sevenoaks at 11:13.
