Photographic notes
As of June 2017 the car park is due to be demolished and the road bridge adapted for pedestrian use.
Shadows from the nearby flats can be troublesome at times. However, reasonable shots can be had of trains departing East Croydon from Lunchtime onwards.
Shots can also be had from the bridge immediately outside the station entrance.
