History

A 1908 Railway Clearing House map of lines around West Dulwich railway station.

The line from Herne Hill to Beckenham Junction was built by the London, Chatham and Dover Railway (LCDR) and opened in 1863.^[2] The station was opened as "Dulwich" in the same year. The prefix "West" was added in 1926.^[3]^[4]

The typical off-peak service (Mon-Sat) is four trains an hour northbound to London Victoria (via Herne Hill and Brixton) and four trains an hour southbound to Orpington (via Beckenham Junction & Bromley South). On Sundays, there is a half-hourly service each way.^[5] These services are operated by Southeastern.

During peak time, there are also infrequent services to Bedford railway station and St Albans City railway station, via Blackfriars station and St Pancras railway station, and in the other direction services to Beckenham Junction via Penge East. These services are operated by Govia Thameslink Railway.
