New Beckenham railway station
New Beckenham railway station serves Beckenham in the London Borough of Bromley, southeast London. It is in fare zone 4 and about 9 miles 44 chains (15.4 km) from London Charing Cross. The station has two platforms and is accessible. Southeastern manages the station and runs all the trains. The station code is NBC.
History in brief: The Mid-Kent line was built in the 19th century. The current station opened in October 1866 just north of the old junction and was rebuilt in 1904. The line was electrified in 1926. Over the years it has changed hands between railway companies and is now part of Southeastern. A short spur to Beckenham Junction existed but is now mostly unused.
Services: All trains are operated by Southeastern using electric trains (classes 376, 465, 466 and 707). The usual off-peak service goes to central London, with trains to Charing Cross or Cannon Street. On Sundays there is a half-hourly service between Hayes and London Charing Cross via Lewisham.
Local connections: The station is next to the HSBC Sports and Social Club, home to New Beckenham Hockey Club. London Buses route 352 serves the station.
