Crystal Palace
Crystal Palace, looking west, with 378148 waiting to depart at 13.47 with a London Overground service to Highbury & Islington, on a bright but bitterly cold 29th November 2021. The two outer side walls, dating from the station's opening in 1854, once supported a long dismantled all-over roof. A new shorter canopy has recently been added over part of the platforms near the steps leading up to the ticket hall. Formerly known as the Low Level, that was dropped when the totally separate and better-sited High Level station that had opened in 1865 was closed in 1954 and demolished in 1961. Overground trains first served this surviving station on 23rd May 2010 and it is also served by National Rail's South London Metro service from Victoria to London Bridge via Clapham Junction as well as National Southern services towards East Croydon and Beckenham Junction that use two separate platforms behind the wall on the left and which were added in 1857.
