Queenstown Road
A few years ago there was some talk of reopening the disused side platform at Queenstown Road but, as can be seen, that has yet to come to pass. The station was known as Queens Road Battersea, from its opening in 1877, to distinguish it from Queens Road Peckham on the LBSCR South London Line. Although the name of the Battersea thoroughfare was changed from Queens Road to Queenstown Road just after WWII, it was not until 12th May 1980 that the station was also renamed. This view is from a train to Waterloo departing from the north side of the remaining island platform, on 7th June 2021.
