Lewisham station is a National Rail and Docklands Light Railway station in Lewisham, south east London which first opened as Lewisham Junction New Station in 1857. It is on the south-east London commuter rail network operated by Southeastern.〔Southeastern -(Station facilities: Lewisham )〕 Southeastern currently have posters up within the station stating that there will be partial demolition of the 1857 building to open up a waiting area with work being completed over ten weeks before September 2015.〔https://twitter.com/JosephJODonnell/status/607822817829253120〕 ==Station layout== There are four platforms for main-line trains: 1 and 2 on the North Kent Line, and 3 and 4 on a loop off the South Eastern Main Line (which are also known as the mid-Kent route). The former opened on 30 July 1849, the latter on 1 January 1857. The present station opened in 1857, when the Mid Kent line was added. In 1929 large-scale remodelling of the junction was undertaken to enable cross-London freight traffic to be routed via Nunhead and Loughborough Junction. The new route utilised part of the former Greenwich Park branch and included a flyover. Some trains heading to/from London use the flyover and then descend via Tanners Hill Junction to rejoin the main line, using a reversible line which opened in 1976. This junction was further developed in 2012. Platforms 5 and 6 are served by Docklands Light Railway trains to Bank and Stratford. The Docklands Light Railway station opened in 1999 following a southward extension from Island Gardens. From December 2009, Lewisham was fitted with electric ticket gates, in line with the Government's new strategy to give all Greater London National Rail stations Oyster card accessibility and closing access to those who attempt to travel without tickets. This was controversial as it involved the closure of the gate on Platform 4 and led to a petition signed by over 1,000.〔http://www.newsshopper.co.uk/news/11595822.Petition_to_re_open_Lewisham_station_gate_signed_by_1_152/〕 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「Lewisham station」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
