Network Rail has now decided on its planned upgrade of Peckham Rye Station. The options ranged from a minimal spend to a large rebuild; Network Rail has settled for a middle option.
The booking hall will be extended at the rear and a new west-facing entrance added. There will be additional staircases and lift access to all platforms. An option to replace the narrow island platforms 1 & 2 with separate side platforms was ruled out on grounds of cost.
Network Rail will prepare planning consents for submission towards the end of the year, and plans to make a funding submission in Spring 2022 if planning consent is granted.
In a separate but related project, Southwark Council is proceeding with the demolition of buildings in front of the station, to create a new landscaped public square and to reveal the frontage of the Grade II Listed station building in its full glory.
