Catford railway station serves the London suburb of Catford. Mainly used by commuters, it is on the line from mostly Kentish Town to Sevenoaks, between Crofton Park and Bellingham in Travelcard Zone 3. Connections to London Victoria and London Bridge are available at Peckham Rye.
It is next to, and on a higher level than, Catford Bridge railway station with the former Catford Stadium separating the two. Interchange on one ticket is allowed between the two stations.
There is only a small shelter, ticket machine, a few lamp-posts and a stairway on each of the two otherwise empty platforms; unlike the more ornate station at Catford Bridge railway station, which has retained most of its original architecture. Each platform has Customer Information Screens.

Famous quotes containing the words railway and/or station:
“Her personality had an architectonic quality; I think of her when I see some of the great London railway termini, especially St. Pancras, with its soot and turrets, and she overshadowed her own daughters, whom she did not understand—my mother, who liked things to be nice; my dotty aunt. But my mother had not the strength to put even some physical distance between them, let alone keep the old monster at emotional arm’s length.”
—Angela Carter (1940–1992)
“With boys you always know where you stand. Right in the path of a hurricane. It’s all there. The fruit flies hovering over their waste can, the hamster trying to escape to cleaner air, the bedrooms decorated in Early Bus Station Restroom.”
—Erma Bombeck (20th century)
