Location
editSundridge Park station is located between Bromley and Grove Park, on Plaistow Lane, Bromley, on the northern edge of the borough of Bromley.[3] The station is so close to Bromley North (just 770 yards (700 m) up the line) that the latter's platform indicator is a part of the starting signal for the southbound platform.[citation needed] The station's namesake of the vast Sundridge Park, which is currently entirely occupied by a private golf course and inaccessible as a park, is located about 550 yards (500 m) north east of the station.

Future proposals
editProposals have been put forward by Transport for London[5] and the London Borough of Bromley[6] for the Bromley North Line to be extended and connected to either the Docklands Light Railway via a link south of Lewisham, to the Tramlink system from Beckenham Junction, or to an extension of the Bakerloo line from Elephant and Castle. These schemes have not been taken beyond the proposal stage and recommendations are expected to be published around 2017.
Additionally, it has been suggested that the Bromley North Line could be connected to London Overground via an extended service from New Cross, although the problems of line capacity make this seem an unlikely solution.[7]
