Nunhead
465151 to Blackfriars arriving at Nunhead on 22nd February 2014. The line here was originally opened by the LC&DR, from a junction with its main line at Brixton to Crystal Palace High Level on 1st August 1865. On 1st February 1871, Nunhead opened and became the junction for the branch to Greenwich Park, that closed in 1917, and in 1892 the Catford Loop made Nunhead a three-way junction. The present station opened on a new site slightly to the north-west on 3rd May 1925 with part of the Greenwich Park branch reopening on 7th July 1929 together with a new connection into Lewisham. The line to Crystal Palace High Level had long been relegated to a branch from Nunhead but trains to that elaborate terminus ceased in 1954.
