I am trying to research information on the proposed Southern Heights Light Railway which was planned to be built in 1930s around the outer suburbs of South East London. Its planned route was Sanderstead to Orpington with stations at Chelsham, Tatsfield, Cudham, Downe and Green Street Green. It was to be worked by 3rd rail EMUs by extending the Woodside to Sanderstead service. The engineering consultant was a certain Col.H.Stephens.
Can anyone confirm if any of the land was purchased by the then Southern Railway or signs being erected along the route stating the its future purpose.?
It is suggested that earthworks at Orpington on the downside south of the station were placed for the construction of the dive under junction..?
Anyone any further information...?
