Greenwich Park Branch Line
- Greenwich Park Branch Line
The Greenwich Park branch was a railway line in southern London, built by London, Chatham and Dover Railway (LCDR) from Nunhead to Greenwich Park.
LCDR line
Southern Railway having absorbed the previously separate LCDR and South Eastern Railway (SER) sought to link its two networks to enable cross London freight. The section of the "Greenwich Park branch" as far as Lewisham station was reopened on 7 July 1929, connecting to the SER lines at Lewisham. The line was electrified in September 1935 [cite web|title =Electric Railways|publisher ='Stendec Systems'|date=2007|url=http://www.electric-railways.co.uk/L2_DC_750_CR/1_general/g3_proj/prj-0d75-sr.html|accessdate =2007-02-25 ] , allowing passenger trains from Dartford to access Victoria from 30 September 1935 (see Bexleyheath Line).
