It was initially proposed that from 2018, when the Thameslink Programme is completed, services on this line would be operated with longer, 12-car trains offering all-day direct services to/from Cambridge via London Blackfriars.^[3] However, in September 2016, these proposals were dropped; instead, services on the Tattenham Corner line are to "remain as Southern South London Metro services with increased capacity as compared to today".^[4]

Connections[]

London Buses route 166 and non-TfL route 866 serve the station on Chipstead Valley Road to the south. A hail-and-ride section of London Buses route 463 runs along St Andrew's Road to the north of the station.
