Waterloo East, also known as London Waterloo East,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Station facilities for London Waterloo East )〕 is a railway station in central London on the line from through London Bridge towards Kent, in the southeast of England. Although Waterloo East is a through-station, it is classed for ticketing purposes as a central London terminus.〔 〕 Services through the station are operated by Southeastern and it is situated within fare zone 1. An elevated walkway across Waterloo Road connects it to the larger Waterloo station and provides the main access. The eastern ends of Waterloo East's platforms provide pedestrian connection to Southwark station which is served by London Underground's Jubilee line; at street level there is a modest entrance in Sandell Street. Connections with the Underground's Bakerloo, Northern and Waterloo & City lines are available at Waterloo tube station. There is no station building; the ticket office of the main station serves it, though there are ticket machines at the eastern end of the walkway. The four platforms at Waterloo East are lettered rather than numbered to avoid confusion with those of the adjoining Waterloo station, which is managed and branded separately (a stratagem also used for the Thameslink platforms at St. Pancras International and their predecessors at , and at ), by staff who work at both stations. Ticket barriers have been installed at the Sandell Street and Southwark station entrances, and also at the main entrance from Waterloo station following the completion of the retail balcony in 2012. == History == The South Eastern Railway opened it as Waterloo Junction in January 1869 to replace station which was slightly to the east. The Southern Railway renamed it Waterloo Eastern in July 1935 and it took its present name in May 1977. Formerly a rail connection ran across the concourse of the main station. This saw little service, although H.G. Wells's novel ''The War of the Worlds'' describes its use to convey troop trains to the Martian landing site. The bridge which carried the line over Waterloo Road subsequently accommodated the pedestrian walkway between the two stations until replaced by the current high level covered walkway. The old bridge remains and is now used for storage. 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「London Waterloo East railway station」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
