Camberwell is a closed railway station in Camberwell, south London. It was opened in October 1862 by the London, Chatham and Dover Railway (LC&DR) as part of the company's ambitious "second London railway". In May 1863 the name was changed to Camberwell New Road but in October 1908 reverted to Camberwell. As with many other London stations during World War I, wartime restraints forced it to close to passenger traffic in April 1916. Before the outbreak of war, the station had suffered dwindling passenger usage following the introduction of electric tram services in the area.〔(Subterranea Britannica: SB-Sites: Camberwell Station )〕 It remained in use for goods traffic until April 1964. Today, the original station building located on the west side of Camberwell Station Road is in use as a converted mechanic's garage. At track level, nothing of the two side platforms remain but small fragments of the degraded island platform are still visible. The goods yard is now occupied by a residential development. Camberwell station was mentioned in the 1956 film ''Private's Progress'' as a good place to get off a train and avoid paying a fare. It was made to sound like a working station, despite the fact that it had closed nearly 30 years before the film was set. ==See also== *Bakerloo line extension to Camberwell 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Camberwell railway station (London)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
