Trains at Bromley South, SEML, 06/06/26

Bromley South railway station is on the Chatham Main Line in England, serving the town centre and high street of Bromley, south-east London. It is 10 miles 71 chains (17.5 km) down the line from London Victoria and is situated between Shortlands and Bickley.

The station and most trains that serve the station are operated by Southeastern, with some services also operated by Thameslink. It is in Travelcard Zone 5.

The station, initially consisting of two platforms, opened in November 1858.(See: "London Chatham and Dover Railway").

Electric trains, the first in Kent, began running on the Southern Railway's third rail system between London, Bromley South and Orpington in July 1925.

The last passenger steam trains to serve Bromley South did so in 1959, when lines to the Kent Coast were third rail electrified.

Between 1986 and 1999, locomotive hauled trains between the Kent Coast, the West Midlands, the North West and (for a time) Scotland called at Bromley South.

It’s been a very long time since I last visited Bromley South but it’s always an enjoyable station to come and revisit however it wasn’t the great experience I had duration of the time I spent there considering majority of the time I spent there was raining but one positive thing is that I managed to see some Southern 377/1 units making an appearance which is always good to see.

My next station will be Orpington which is situated on the Southeastern Mainline it’s been a year or so roughly but hopefully it’ll be good to come back and revisit so until then thanks for watching and I’ll see you in the next video.
