 South London Lines - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The line already existed from Wandsworth Road to Brixton as part of the LCDR main line: the new line was quadrupled between these points and extended to London Bridge.
The main importance of this line is that it was a pioneering railway electrification scheme in Britain.
That line from Wandsworth Common to Sydenham was opened on 1 December 1856 by the West End of London and Crystal Palace Railway in connection with the removal of the Crystal Palace from Hyde Park to Sydenham Hill.

In the 1980s it was renamed as a line in its own right (though it was still grouped operationally with the Metropolitan Line) and from 1990 the colour used for the ELL on the Tube map was changed to the present orange.
The maintenance of the line passed to the Metronet consortium in 2003 under a Public-Private Partnership, although the operation of trains continues to be the responsibility of Transport for London.
Trains on the East London Line used to be operated with guards as well as a driver; the decision to withdraw the guards prompted an unsuccessful strike by the National Union of Railwaymen in May 1985.
