Peckham Rye is a railway station in Peckham town centre, South London. The station is served by Southern, London Overground, Southeastern and Thameslink.
It opened on 1 December 1865 for London, Chatham and Dover Railway (LCDR) trains and on 13 August 1866 for London, Brighton and South Coast Railway (LBSCR) trains.[1] It was designed by Charles Henry Driver (1832–1900), the architect of Abbey Mills and Crossness pumping stations, who also designed the grade II listed and stations between here and .
It is between and on the South London Line, between Denmark Hill and on the Catford Loop Line, and between Queens Road Peckham and on the Portsmouth Line. It is in Travelcard Zone 2 and is 3chain36chain measured from or 5chain13chain measured from .
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 by Southern services (London Bridge via Tulse Hill to Beckenham Junction and East Croydon), and London Overground services (Clapham Junction to Dalston Junction). Platforms 3 and 4 are on the north viaduct and served by Thameslink (Blackfriars to Sevenoaks) and Southeastern (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.[2]
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.[3] 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.[4]
