History

Lewisham station opened in 1886. [3] The Main Suburban line through Lewisham was quadruplicated in 1892, [4] and sextuplicated in 1927 in association with electrification works. [5]

As part of the 1892 work, the northern side platform was converted to an island platform and a new platform constructed on the most northern line. The former was trimmed back to a single platform, and the latter demolished as part of the 1927 works. In September 1990, Lewisham closed for three months as the first station that CityRail upgraded. [6]

An easy access upgrade to the station will commence in 2024. [7]
