History

England's railway boom of the 1830s led to two competing companies driving lines through the area. The first, the London, Brighton and South Coast Railway (LBSCR) established a station on the New Cross Road close to Hatcham in 1839. The second company, the South Eastern Railway (SER) established a second near Amersham Way in the heart of New Cross in 1849. Both companies called their stations "New Cross". The LB&SCRs coat of arms, displayed above the entrance to Gipsy Hill railway station. ... The London and Greenwich Railway (LGR) and the Canterbury and Whitstable Railway (CWR) in East Kent were the earliest railways to serve the then county of Kent: eventually both became parts of the South Eastern Railway (SER). ...

The confusing state of affairs was allowed to continue until the two companies were absorbed into the Southern Railway on the post-war grouping in 1923. To avoid confusion the Southern changed the name of the "Brighton" station - the one furthest away from New Cross - to "New Cross Gate", leaving the "South Eastern" station as "New Cross". And so it has remained ever since.

Although no recorded accidents have occurred at New Cross Gate Station, the Spa Road Junction rail crash did happen a short distance outside the station. The Spa Road Junction rail crash was an accident on the British railway system which occured during the peak evening rush hour of 8 January 1999 at Spa Road Junction in Bermondsey, southeast London. ...
