| Notes / History | Although the up line had been removed in 1935, the platform had its white edging maintained for the benefit of passengers gaining access to West Croydon trains. Class C2X 0-6-0 no. 32445 eases freight from Merton Abbey round the 20chain curve. The station opened on 1-10-1868 with 2 platforms on the Merton Abbey line. Another platform opened on 1-11-1870 on the Wimbledon to West Croydon line as an afterthought. |
