nunhead_man Posted June 30, 2013 Share Posted June 30, 2013 Does anyone on the panel know if you have to change platforms when changing trains at Streatham Common when travelling south from East Dulwich to East Croydon?Asking for someone with mobility issuesTIA all Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/33761-platform-change-streatham-common/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
ianr Posted June 30, 2013 Share Posted June 30, 2013 According to http://www.nationalrail.co.uk/stations/SRC/details.html (see Station Map) there are only two working platforms, one for each direction. You're presumably asking about a weekday. Today there are trains direct to East Croydon. http://www.southernrailway.com/your-journey/plan-your-journey/live-running-information/EDW/departures/ Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/33761-platform-change-streatham-common/#findComment-657882 Share on other sites More sharing options...
nunhead_man Posted June 30, 2013 Author Share Posted June 30, 2013 Yes - indeed I checked National Rail and had the same info but there are four platforms in total at Streatham Common.And it is a week day tripJust wondering about using Forest Hill as a starting point Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/33761-platform-change-streatham-common/#findComment-657893 Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnie Posted June 30, 2013 Share Posted June 30, 2013 If you are starting from Forest Hill the Overground goes direct to East Croyden in about 15 minutes, trains about every 10 minutes.Just be award there is sometimes quite a step from the train to the platform. My mother found it quite scary and difficult.Johnie Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/33761-platform-change-streatham-common/#findComment-657898 Share on other sites More sharing options...
