Tattenham Corner railway station

On 1 December 1993, an approaching train (the 06.16 from Victoria) failed to brake in time to stop in the platform and overran the buffer stops; the leading vehicle ended up mounting the concourse and becoming embedded in the wooden station booking office (which subsequently had to be demolished). No passengers were injured in the crash, though the train driver and a member of station staff were hospitalised. The driver was later found to be intoxicated on duty and jailed for nine months. == Services ==

However, in September 2016, those proposals were dropped and instead, services on the Tattenham Corner Line were to "remain as Southern South London Metro services with increased capacity as compared to today". == References ==
