Norwood Junction railway station
Encyclopedia
Norwood Junction railway station is in South Norwood
in the London Borough of Croydon
in south London
, in Travelcard Zone 4
.
The station is managed by London Overground
and trains operated by Southern
and London Overground
(since May 23, 2010).
In 1839 the London and Croydon Railway
opened Jolly-sailor station (sic) — listed as "Jolly-sailor near Beulah Spa" on fares lists and timetables — at the north end of the High Street. The station was immediately adjacent to a level crossing
over Portland Road. From 1841 the lines through Norwood were used by the London and Brighton Railway
and from 1842 the South Eastern Railway
but neither of these companies used the station.
In 1844 the London and Croydon Railway was given parliamentary authority to test an experimental pneumatic propulsion
system on the railway (referred to at the time as the atmospheric-propulsion system). A pumping station was built on Portland Road to create a vacuum
in a continuous pipe located centrally between the rails. A piston extended downwards from the trains into a slit in the pipe, meaning that trains were literally sucked towards the pumping station (or more accurately, blown away from it by atmospheric pressure). The pumping station was built in a Gothic
style, with a very tall ornate tower which served both as a chimney
and as an exhaust vent for air pumped from the propulsion pipe.
As part of the construction works for the atmospheric-propulsion system, the world's first railway flyover
(overpass) was constructed beyond the south end of the station to carry the new atmospheric-propulsion line over the conventional London & Brighton Railway steam line below.
In July 1846 the London and Croydon Railway merged with the London and Brighton Railway
to form the London Brighton and South Coast Railway, and the station was renamed ‘’Norwood’’ in the same year (but had become ‘’Norwood Junction’’ by 1856). The new company abandoned the atmospheric propulsion experiment in 1847 but the flyover remains in use as part of what is sometimes known as Windmill Bridge Junction.
the original station was closed on 1 June 1859 and replaced by the current station on the south side of the A215 road
. The station building was used as a private house until the 1960s when it was demolished.
