WHAT COULD HAVE BEEN

Does it look familiar? Hopefully it reminds you of South London stations during the slam door era.

​

Southwark Bridge imagines that Holborn Viaduct had been built further east and London bound trains still divided at Herne Hill. A later extension to Charing Cross was built requiring trains to reverse at Southwark Bridge but it was not a success. The reversals were brought to an abrupt halt during a WW2 bombing raid. This made two of the five platforms at Southwark Bridge redundant but they discovered a new lease of life for parcels and newspaper trains.

Trains are traditional Southern Region EMU’s Diesels and Electric locomotives using the third rail as seen during the late 1960’s through to the early 1980’s.
