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

There is an out-of-station interchange with Penge East station, located 680 metres (2,230 ft) walk away and served by Southeastern services into Central London.

There was also a demand for improved transport to the Crystal Palace nearby, so the station was reopened by the London, Brighton and South Coast Railway on 1 July 1863.

[6] The sidings were removed, the buildings demolished and the access road closed when the land was sold for the construction of a Homebase store.

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