The northwest exterior of the Grade II listed station
In September 1866 a spur was opened from the north end of Ladywell station to the recently opened main line (which avoided Lewisham Junction station) which it joins at Parks Bridge Junction.[5]
Almost all services from the station have terminated at Charing Cross or Cannon Street stations but between 1880 and 1884 a service worked between Croydon (Addiscombe Road) calling all stations to New Cross and then via a connection to the East London Line and terminating at Liverpool Street station.[6]
In 1898 the South Eastern Railway and its bitter rivals the London Chatham and Dover Railway agreed to work as one railway company under the name of the South Eastern and Chatham Railway and Ladywell became an SECR station.
Southern Railway (1923-1947)edit
Following the Railways Act 1921 (also known as the Grouping Act), Ladywell station became a Southern Railway station on 1 January 1923.
The Mid-Kent line was electrified with the (750 V DC third rail) system and electric services commenced on 28 February 1926. Early electric services were worked by early Southern Railway 3-car Electric Multiple Unit trains often built from old SECR carriages.
On 30 June 1929 colour light signalling was introduced north of Ladywell.[7]
British Railways (1948-1994)edit
After World War II and following nationalisation on 1 January 1948, the station fell under the auspices of British Railways Southern Region.
Colour light signalling was introduced south of Ladywell (as far as New Beckenham) on 4 April 1971.[8]
