Anerley railway station is in the London Borough of Bromley in south London. It is in Travelcard Zone 4, and the station and all trains are operated by Southern.

The main building on the down side replaced an original building which was on the up platform. There are two shelters on the Up platform. There is a bridge connecting the two platforms. Four lines run through the station, the central pair being the Up and Down through lines. The station stands off Anerley Road (A214).

History

The station was opened originally as Annerley by the London and Croydon Railway, which amalgamated with the London & Brighton Railway to form the London, Brighton and South Coast Railway. During the Grouping of 1923 it became part of the Southern Railway, and then passed on to the Southern Region of British Railways on nationalisation in 1948.

When Sectorisation was introduced in the 1980s, the station was served by Network SouthEast until the Privatisation of British Railways.

Anerley will form part of the new southbound route of the East London Line that is due to open in 2010, and will form part of the London Overground.

Services

The typical off-peak service is two trains per hour northbound to London Bridge and two trains per hour southbound to Sutton. At Pek times some trains to Sutton are extended to Guildford & Dorking trains to Caterham also stop here.
