The Anonymous Widower

The New Deptford Station

To me Deptford is summed up by a picture of Peter the Great working in the Royal Dockyard at Deptford, that was in one of the school history texts I read.

I’d never knowingly been until today, when I went to look at the new Deptford station, which is just a few months away from being finished.

To my untrained eye, they have done a good job in creating a station with full step-free access, using ideas and components that could also be used in other places, where new or rebuilt stations are desperately needed.

I particularly liked the treatment of the brickwork in the tunnel under the tracks.
