Changing platforms at Peckham Rye

[lizbells6]

I need to collect someone with mobility issues travelling from London Bridge to Nunhead. Can anyone tell me what platform the LB trains arrive at at PR? I think he needs to get to platform 4 for the Nunhead train so wondering if this involves steps? (He's in a huge hurry so the 343 bus would take too long).

Thanks.

Yes it would involve going up and down steps. To avoid steps, I think he would have to go via Blackfriars. The alternative would be if you could pick him up from Queen's Road Peckham. Also steps to exit the station, but easier to Park here than at Peckham Rye.

Trains from London Bridge arrive on platform 1. Anything other than a transfer to platform 2 will involve two flights of steps (one down and one back up). Leaving the station will involve two flights down. Could you try getting off at ED (step free now) and then getting a bus from there?

Next stop is crofton park that might be step free or lewisham is definatly and has lifts and were working this morning - yes best bet lewsisham

The National Rail Journey Planner has More Options in which you can include things like selecting a station NOT to change at, and allowing longer than usual times for changing. Blackfriars or Lewisham look like potential candidates, though you'd have to carefully check the transfer intervals. Hover over the Chg number result to see the times of arrival and departure at the change stations.

You can also see station plans, small and enlarged, and photographs, if you go to an individual station's page. The station live arrivals and departures pages also show the platform numbers.

Thanks so much for the quick replies. I'll have a word with him and suggest some alternatives.

Another option is tube/overground to Brockley and step free exit there. Close to Nunhead and you can park there as well.

Crofton Park is not step free

Sydenham is another option.

Thanks again everyone. Dont know why i didnt think of Brockley. Looks like that would be easiest.

Crofton Park has step-free access midway along each platform - v easy on London-bound side but bit of a trek from the kent-bound platform (several mins back to the main road).

Any idea what the timeframe is for Queens Road Peckham to get its step free access?

Will there ever be plans to create an entrance/exist at the western end of Peckham Rye, closer to Bellenden Road? Or at least a footbridge at that end, so people can change (like at Highbury & Islington overground) ?
