The train station, built in 1985, is one of the busiest interchanges in the country, but is still inaccessible to many.
Peckham Rye station, operated by GT Railway, is a vital part of south London’s transport network. It serves thousands daily, connecting the Overground, Southern, Southeastern, and Thameslink.
Despite its importance, the station has no step-free access to any of its four platforms. For disabled commuters as well as parents with buggies, the elderly and those travelling with heavy luggage, the station poses a grave challenge.
Nathan Rollinson, a local campaigner who supports Inclusion London, has been telling Artefact about the urgent need for an upgrade.
