Service was extended to a temporary terminus at Elephant and Castle on 6 October 1862 via a reversing move at Herne Hill.

[4] Services ran from Moorgate to London Victoria via Snow Hill (Holborn Viaduct), Camberwell New Road and Brixton and South Stockwell to Grosvenor Road, following the opening of the link northeastwards to London Blackfriars via Loughborough Junction in 1864.

[5] The station was also connected to the LC&DR's branch to Crystal Palace High Level via Nunhead soon afterwards, with this section (via Denmark Hill) becoming part of the modern-day Catford Loop Line.

[7] Adding both stations to the route was excluded from the plan due to the prohibitive cost of building on the high viaducts at each location.

This work, Platforms Piece by Kevin Atherton, was erected in 1986 and the statues are life casts of three people - two black, one white - who regularly travelled from Brixton.

[13] The statues, believed to be the first sculptures of black British people in a public place in the UK, were given Grade II listed status in November 2016.
