Anerley railway station

Additional limited peak-time National Rail services operated by Southern also call at Anerley.

[3][4] It was situated in a largely unpopulated area, but was built as part of an agreement with the local landowner.

[5] According to local lore, the landowner was a Scotsman and, when asked for the landmark by which the station would be known, he replied "Mine is the annerly hoose".

When Sectorisation was introduced in the 1980s, the station was served by Network SouthEast until the Privatisation of British Rail.

Off-peak, all services at Anerley are operated by the Windrush line of the London Overground using Class 378 EMUs.
