West Brompton

378223, with a London Overground service to Clapham Junction, arriving at West Brompton station, on 24th May 2014. The former West London Extension Railway was closed to local trains as a Second World War economy in October 1940 but remained open for through freight and summer excursions to the south coast until fully reopened to passengers in 1994. This station was opened in 1999 on the site of the WLER station that had closed in 1940; on the right is the LUL District Line station (Wimbledon branch). For many years this was closed at weekends but, since becoming an interchange with the London Overground, is now open full time again. Southern services also call at the LO platforms.
