Clapham High Street railway station is on the South London Line in Clapham, within the London Borough of Lambeth, Greater London. It is 2 miles 25 chains (3.7 km) measured from London Victoria. It is served by London Overground services under the control of the London Rail division of Transport for London.
It is close to Template:LUL stations Underground station, and interchange between the two is counted as an Out of Station Interchange on Oyster, so that users are charged for a single journey, not two separate journeys.[3]
History
The station was opened on 25 August 1862 by the London, Chatham and Dover Railway (LCDR) as Clapham, renamed Clapham & North Stockwell from May 1863. The London, Brighton and South Coast Railway (LBSCR) route (current Atlantic Line, often referred to by its old name of South London Line) was authorized by an 1863 Act of Parliament and parallels the original 1862 LCDR route eastwards between Wandsworth Road and Brixton and beyond. Until the 1923 grouping all lines through the station were owned by the LCDR, with two leased to the LBSCR for their sole use.
The original 'south' 1862 line was leased to the LBSCR in 1867 and the LCDR used the new 'north' 1867 lines.
The existing platforms, together with the Grade II listed 1862 station building, form the original station. These platforms were used by the LCDR from 1862 to 1867, and the LBSCR until the 1923 grouping.[4][5]
The 1867 LCDR platforms were closed on 3 April 1916 and subsequently demolished.[6] The eastbound platform's station building was destroyed by a bomb in 1944.[6]
The LCDR 1866 station building (on the north side) was partially demolished in 1924 after the 1916 closure, finally being demolished in the late 1970s. In British Rail days, access to the platforms was via a subway on the north side.[7]
The original south 1862 building was sold, being initially used as a furniture warehouse before being redeveloped in 2003 as residential accommodation. It is now Grade II listed. The platform had a full-length canopy that was demolished in the late 1970s.[6]
The line between London Victoria and London Bridge was electrified at 6600 V AC on the overhead system on 1 December 1909. It was re-electrified in 1928 using third rail 660 V DC and the overhead was dismantled.
In 1937 it was renamed Clapham before receiving its current name in 1989 to avoid confusion with Clapham Junction[8]
In 2012 Southern refurbished the eastbound platform, erecting a new fence and repaving the surface. In late 2012, London Overground erected new waiting shelters and station name signs.
Services
Typical off-peak and peak service is four London Overground trains per hour in each direction.
Until 8 December 2012 Clapham High Street was served by a twice-hourly Southern service between London Victoria and London Bridge.
From 9 December 2012, London Overground services began operating between Clapham Junction and Surrey Quays, completing the orbital route around London. As a result, all Southern services were withdrawn and replaced with London Overground services, with four trains calling per hour.[9]
Parliamentary services
Since 9 December 2012, Southeastern has operated a limited service from London Victoria. In February 2017 this service was running with one early morning train a day in each direction from Monday to Friday only. Otherwise, SE trains calling at Denmark Hill and Victoria in normal working pass through the platform lines without stopping but can be diverted (via Crofton Road Junction between Peckham Rye and Denmark Hill stations) over the non-platform lines when required. Until December 2012 Southern also ran a service from Kensington (Olympia) to Clapham High Street but this was later cut back to Wandsworth Road from Kensington Olympia before being withdrawn altogether on 17 June 2013.
As a nominal replacement for the former Southern-operated South London line route to/from Battersea Park, a single train in each direction to/from Highbury & Islington was maintained after the December 2012 timetable change (leaving Battersea Park at 06.17 and returning as the 22.17 Highbury & Islington to Battersea Park). This was still operating in March 2016 (weekdays only), running to and from Dalston Junction. An additional weekday eastbound late night train also operates on this route (as the evening train to Battersea Park now returns in service to Dalston rather than as empty stock) - this arrives at 23.07 en route to Dalston Junction.[10]
Connections
London Buses routes 50, 88, 155, 322, 345 and P5 and night route N155 serve the station.
