Brockley is a station on the main railway line between and , down the line from London Bridge. It is in London fare zone 2. It is served by suburban services of London Overground (Windrush line) and National Rail (Southern). It is located in Brockley in south-east London.
The line was part of the London and Croydon Railway which opened in 1839. The station was opened on 6 March 1871. The original station buildings were demolished in the 1970s and new buildings erected. The platforms are only located on the outer, Slow lines, since the station is only served by London Overground trains between and or , local trains between London Bridge and Coulsdon Town and by the London Bridge to London Victoria loop line via Crystal Palace, plus some London Bridge to Guildford and in peak times.
Brockley forms part of the new southbound extension of the East London line (now the Windrush line) that opened on 23 May 2010 and forms part of the London Overground network. Ticket barriers were installed at this time.
Adjacent to Brockley station was sited Brockley Lane station which closed to passengers in 1917 with the original London, Chatham and Dover Railway branch to Greenwich Park. The connection of that line to Lewisham is a later development. Neither of these other lines has a physical connection with Brockley station, despite the trains running over the station. The possibility of opening platforms on this line with direct access to Victoria Station and the Bexleyheath Line to Dartford has often been suggested. A proposal to create a new Brockley Interchange, linking the existing station to the to Lewisham line with new platforms at the former Brockley Lane station, is included in the London Borough of Lewisham's 2019âÂÂ2041 transport strategy. The document gives an approximate date of 2030 and states that funding from TfL and Network Rail would be needed for the project. The document states that TFL is to provide an estimated cost.
