Shortlands railway station is in Shortlands, in the London Borough of Bromley in south London. It serves the southwest part of Bromley, and is 10 miles (16 km) from London Victoria. The station is located on the A222 road. It was originally opened by the ''West End of London and Crystal Palace Railway'' on 3 May 1858, when it was named ''Bromley''. Shortlands Junction, just west of the station, is where the Catford Loop Line joins the Chatham Main Line: the two lines are now split into slow and fast pairs through the station, which consists of two island platforms on an embankment. The station was enlarged and rebuilt to its present form in 1892-94.〔"The Railways of Beckenham", Andrew Hajducki, 2011〕 Shortlands Junction was remodelled in the 1950s to allow line speeds to be increased, and was remodelled again with the construction of Ravensbourne chord (a dive-under pair of lines) in 2002 to increase the capacity of the junction, as part of the work to enhance the existing network in conjunction with the opening of the first section of High Speed 1, the high-speed link to the Channel Tunnel.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Shortlands Junction )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Shortlands )〕 Construction of the chord line might not have been justified with the current level of traffic (now that Eurostar trains no longer use the route through Shortlands to and from Waterloo). The station is in Travelcard Zone 4, and the station is managed by Southeastern and trains are operated by Southeastern and Thameslink. == Services == The typical off-peak service is: *4tph (trains per hour) to London Victoria via Herne Hill *2tph on Monday to Saturday to West Hampstead Thameslink calling at all stations via Catford *4tph to Orpington, calling at all stations *2tph to Sevenoaks via Swanley The typical Sunday service: *2tph (trains per hour) to London Victoria via Herne Hill *2tph to London Blackfriars calling at all stations via Catford *2tph to Orpington, *2tph to Sevenoaks via Swanley 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「Shortlands railway station」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
