The station is also served by a very limited service on the Windrush line of the London Overground, consisting of two trains per day to and one train per day from Dalston Junction via Surrey Quays, operated using Class 378 EMUs.

[12] London Overground can also use Battersea Park if for whatever reason they are unable to serve Clapham Junction.

On 24 December 1881, a train hauled by LBSC Terrier No.70 Poplar collided with the rear of the 11:35pm from London Bridge owing to a fogman's error.

[13] On 2 April 1937, two electric passenger trains collided just south of the station; ten people were killed and 17 seriously injured.

The signalman at Battersea Park, believing there to be a fault with his equipment, overrode the electrical interlocking and allowed the second train into the occupied section.

1D91 had closed sufficiently on 2L51 that the former passed a series of signals displaying a 'single yellow' caution aspect, at which the driver cancelled the AWS warning and continued, as he was entitled to, at a speed of around 30 mph (48 km/h).

Only one vehicle sustained severe structural damage; this was the leading passenger coach of 1D91, running immediately behind the GLV.

This coach sustained a small degree of telescoping at underframe level, and hinging down of its trailing end, so that the saloon floor buckled upwards by about 600 mm (24 in) with consequent displacement of seats in one bay.

In the collision 104 persons suffered injury and were taken to two hospitals by means of ten ambulances, the first of which arrived at 09:58.

Most of the injured suffered only cuts and bruises and were discharged after treatment, but eighteen had serious injuries requiring detention in hospital for periods between one and fourteen nights.

[15] The West End of London and Crystal Palace Railway opened an engine shed off what is now Prince of Wales Drive on 29 March 1858.
