Despite the road's name, anybody expecting to find Sutton's station here will be disappointed. In fact, until 1964 Sutton Junction station was located just to the south of the level crossing; as the name implies it was a junction with, until 1951, a short branch to the centre of Sutton. The branch passenger service was affectionately known as the 'Penny Emma'. When the line reopened to passengers in 1995 it was decided not to reopen a station at this location but instead Sutton Parkway was opened further to the south
