Peckham Rye is aninterchange station between theWindrush line of theLondon Overground andNational Rail services operated bySoutheastern,Southern andThameslink, located inPeckham town centre inSouth London.
It opened on 1 December 1865 forLondon, Chatham and Dover Railway (LCDR) trains and on 13 August 1866 forLondon, Brighton and South Coast Railway (LBSCR) trains.[2] It was designed byCharles Henry Driver (1832–1900), the architect ofAbbey Mills andCrossness pumping stations, who also designed the grade IIlistedDenmark Hill andBattersea Park stations between here andLondon Victoria.
It is betweenDenmark Hill andQueens Road Peckham on theWindrush line, between Denmark Hill andNunhead on theCatford loop line, and between Queens Road Peckham andEast Dulwich on thePortsmouth Line. It is in Travelcard Zone 2 and is 3 miles 36 chains (5.6 km) measured fromLondon Bridge or 5 miles 13 chains (8.3 km) measured fromLondon Victoria.
Peckham Rye is a major interchange served by four different routes. Its platforms are on two separate viaducts with a single ticket hall at ground level. Platforms 1 and 2 are on the south viaduct and served bySouthern services (London Bridge via Tulse Hill to Beckenham Junction and East Croydon), andWindrush line (London Overground) services (Clapham Junction to Dalston Junction). Platforms 3 and 4 are on the north viaduct and served byThameslink (Blackfriars to Sevenoaks) andSoutheastern (Victoria to Dartford).
Ticket gates were installed in May 2009 and during late 2010 the station was refurbished as part of a 'deep clean' by Southern. A former waiting room for platforms 2 and 3, bricked up for 55 years, was partially restored and temporarily re-opened with a permanent re-opening being planned.[3]
Peckham Rye is planned to become a step-free station. The project was planned to be completed in 2021, but has been delayed to 2024.[4] The step-free project, alongside a major station rebuild, is expected to request government funding in 2022, and if approved, construction will start in September 2023 and be completed in late Summer 2025.[5]
