Catford

This station is served by

Thameslink and is on the

Catford Loop line, served by trains between the Thameslink core, and Orpington and Sevenoaks.

Side platforms. Platform 1 is northbound towards central London, and platform 2 is southbound towards Kent.

As the scheme has completed, there is lift access up to both platforms from street level

Hayes Line and served by Southeastern. It has SFA with separate entrances for each platform from the street.

Confusingly, the railway is on a bridge at Catford, and not on a bridge at Catford Bridge. “Bridge” probably refers to the nearby river, as well as being marketing speak for “oi this is an idyllic rural location and we’re better than Catford, come spend all your money commuting with us”.
