Now called Station Court, the building was a former merchant's home and is possibly the oldest station in the world. www.worldhistory.com /wiki/M/Mitcham.htm   (829 words)

Railway Station database There are many instances of duplicated station names, due partly to the presence of more than one railway company in a particular town, and partly to the fact that some towns in different parts of the country share the same name.

The Woodside & South Croydon Railway Logically this should have marked the end of the line as far as passengers were concerned, but for reasons which still remain obscure the Southern Railway recommenced passenger services in 1935 with rebuilt stations and a half-hourly service between Sanderstead and Charing Cross or Cannon Street. During the early years of the century the railway saw increasing competition from tramways and omnibuses, so in common with many other lines the Joint Committee decided that Railmotors might be the answer to this loss of passenger traffic. However the Board were still not happy with the facilities provided at Woodside for passengers changing trains, so the station was rebuilt to include a road level booking office and passenger shelter on the down platform resulting in a further delay of eight months. meltingpot.fortunecity.com /turkey/927/WSCR.html   (1040 words)

Tramlink From Woodside to Sandilands (Routes 1 and 2) and from Sandilands almost to Lloyd Park (Route 3), Tramlink follows the route of the former Woodside and South Croydon Railway. At Woodside, the old station buildings are still visible but disused, and the original platforms have been demolished to make way for accessible low platforms, in common with the rest of the system (except Elmers End, and Wimbledon, which continue to use their old respective branch line platforms). Tramlink meets National Rail lines at a number of stations, but because it runs in an area relatively under-served by the London Underground (one of the reasons for its creation), its only interchange with the Underground is at Wimbledon. www.freecaviar.com /search.php?title=Tramlink   (609 words)
