Sanderstead railway station is in the London Borough of Croydon, from Sanderstead village. It is in Travelcard Zone 6. The station is operated by Southern, is served by Oxted Line trains from East Grinstead and Uckfield to London Bridge and Victoria. On the up (London-bound) platform is a ticket office, staffed for most of the day, and a self-service ticket machine is outside the station on the up side: there is no PERTIS (Permit to travel) machine. Purley Oaks, also in Travelcard Zone 6, is nearby. == History == The station was opened on 10 March 1884 by the London, Brighton and South Coast Railway and the South Eastern Railway with their line between Croydon and East Grinstead. The population was around 300, rising to 534 by 1901. In the mid-1920s, the Southern Heights Light Railway was proposed, which would have left the Oxted line south east of the station and finished at . An extensive bookstall was on the up platform, and a signal box on the down platform. The building was weather-boarded, cheap to construct but requiring regular maintenance. It was destroyed by fire in June 1986 and a new brick building, in the opinion of some an unimaginative replacement, opened in September 1987.〔Mitchell, V. and Smith, K., plate 39.〕 The signal box closed on 2 November 1985 and was demolished in August 1987.〔Mitchell, V. and Smith, K., plate 35.〕 The line from to Sanderstead was electrified on 30 September 1935, and electrification of the South Croydon-Selsdon and Sanderstead-East Grinstead sections of line was approved by BR in the early 1980s: South Croydon-Selsdon was electrified in 1984 using some redundant materials from the closed Woodside-Selsdon line, to East Grinstead in October 1987.〔Mitchell, V. and Smith, K., plate 55.〕 Electric trains on the Woodside and South Croydon Railway via Selsdon to Elmers End ran from 1935 until the line closed in 1983; at that time, fewer than 150 people were using the service per day, which ran on weekdays at peak hours to Elmers End.〔Mitchell, V. and Smith, K., plate 38.〕 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「Sanderstead railway station」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
