£765,000 upgrade of the footbridge at Caterham station in Surrey, first built in 1900 January 20, 2021 Passengers at Caterham station can cross the railway more safely thanks to footbridge refurbishment as part of Network Rail’s Railway Upgrade Plan. Caterham station is at the southern terminus of the Caterham line which branches from the Brighton Main Line at Purley. A station was first built in Caterham in 1856, but that was replaced by the current station when it opened at the dawn of the 20th century on 1st January 1900. The station has a single island platform accommodating platforms 1 & 2 with a short siding on the western side and the footbridge provides access between a concourse building and platforms. The footbridge refurbishment included: Jetting and painting the existing steelwork Installing new portal frames Glazing Guttering and roofing Shaun King, route director, Sussex said: “Our Railway Upgrade Plan is all about providing a safer and more reliable railway fit for the 21st century. The upgraded footbridge will make crossing the railway safer and easier for everyone. I would like to thank local residents and passengers for their patience and understanding while we completed this important upgrade.” Angie Doll, Managing Director for Southern and Gatwick Express, said: “On behalf of our Caterham passengers, we welcome Network Rail’s investment in maintaining the safety of the footbridge. The refurbished footbridge will be complemented by our comprehensive makeover for the station this year, including landscaping, lighting, toilets and seating, all part of our network-wide, multimillion-pound station improvement programme. “During the current restrictions, please only travel if essential, and if you have to go by train, remember the hands-face-space rules to make your journey safe for everyone.” Photo credit: Network Rail.

Southern Railway Stations in South London
Southern Railway stations in South London The south London area stations of Southern Region of British Railways and its constituents tend to be somewhat neglected, perhaps due to the prevalent suburban electric services, but comprised some fine examples of former company architecture. The following pictures were all taken in August 1973; a few of the sites have since disappeared, many others surely much modernised by now, and some have even been nicely restored...... First, we look at the former South Eastern Railway branch line from Purley to Caterham. Here is Kenley, whose cottage-style station house with very steep-pitched roof and gothic detailing is now a listed building, but privately owned. It dates from the construction of the Caterham Railway in 1856 and is by architect Richard Whittall. Below is Whyteleafe, (left) down side waiting room and footbridge, and the signal box and level crossing at Whyteleafe South...... The signalbox nameboard shows that the station had been re-signed with modern British Rail white enamel plates; in late 1972 I found one of the much more attractive 1950-era station nameplates for sale in an antique shop near Paddington station, for the pricely sum of £2.50p. In contrast the teminus station building at Caterham still displayed its “Southern Electric” enamelware...... Here are two more views at Caterham, with the SE&CR wooden signalbox at right...... Moving on to Anerley, this is an ex London Brighton & South Coast Railway station on its line from London Bridge to West Croydon, just to the north of Norwood Junction. At least part of the main building is thought to date from the line opening in 1839.
