The junctions at Selhurst mark the point where trains from two London terminals - Victoria and London Bridge - meet north of Croydon and are in turn shuffled and distributed either to the main lines south through East Croydon, serving the Weald and the coast, or the more suburban south-western destinations reached through West Croydon. Taken from the slow lines between East Croydon and Victoria. In the background a southbound express on the fast lines; in the middle distance, the line from West Croydon towards London Bridge passes below the photographer's position, whilst a spur from this climbs rightwards to join the slow Victoria lines just south of Selhurst station.
