Sydenham (London) railway station a National Rail station in the south London Borough of Lewisham and is in Travelcard Zone 3. Sydenham is served by London Overground's East London Line and Southern Metro services. The station is known as Sydenham (London) to distinguish it from Sydenham railway station, Belfast and is located on a part of the Brighton Main Line which is often known as the Sydenham Corridor. Sydenham is located 6 route miles (9.6 km) from , 9.7 route miles (15.6 km) from and 10.5 route miles (16.8 km) from . Opened in June 1839 on a route which was originally the Croydon Canal, it is slightly to the north of Sydenham junction, where the Crystal Palace line branches from the main line. ==History== Sydenham station is on the site of the former Croydon Canal which was purchased and drained by the London and Croydon Railway and re-opened as a railway on 5 June 1839. Around 1844 the 'Up' (London bound) platform was re-sited during the installation of the Atmospheric railway equipment used by the railway. The railway became a part of the London, Brighton and South Coast Railway in July 1846 and the following year 'Atmospheric' working was abandoned. The 'Down' (Croydon bound) platform had to be moved to the north of the road bridge in 1852 as a result of the construction of the branch line to Crystal Palace railway station. The 'up'(London bound) platform had also to be moved north of the road bridge in the 1980s. Before May 2010, Southern was the only TOC serving the station with 6 trains per hour during off peak periods. However, when the London Overground's East London Line opened this changed with Southern reducing its services into London Bridge to 4 trains per hour by withdrawing trains to Sutton, supplemented by an additional 8 trains operated by London Overground - giving the current total of 12 trains per hour. There are, or have been, five other stations in the Sydenham area: * on the Hayes Line * on the now closed Crystal Palace (High Level) line * , on the to Orpington line. 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「Sydenham (London) railway station」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
