- The Inner South London Line is an 8.5-mile (13.7 km) horseshoe-shaped Inner London railway route from Victoria to London Bridge via Peckham Rye. "Inner" distinguishes it from the Outer South London Line which runs from London Victoria to London Bridge via Gipsy Hill. The line is in Travelcard Zone 2 apart from the termini, which are in Zone 1. Passenger rail services are currently operated by Southern. Until December 2012, Southern operated a half-hourly passenger service between London Bridge and Victoria. More information on the Wikipedia page [1]

| abstract | - The London, Chatham and Dover Railway (LCDR) was authorised to build the line by the South London Railway Act 1862. It re-used the existing Wandsworth Road to Brixton section which had been constricted as part of the LCDR main line. This existing line was quadrupled and the line was extended to London Bridge. The northern pair (now known as the Chatham lines), with no stations, was used by the LCDR; the southern (now known as the Atlantic lines) was used by the London, Brighton and South Coast Railway (LBSCR). Several stations were shared by the two companies. The company pioneered rail electrification in the UK which was authorised in 1903 and the first electric train operated on 1 December 1909. For the following three years, steam trains alternated with the electrics: the latter operated a 15-minute interval service from 7.30am to midnight. In the first year of electric operation, passengers carried almost doubled, from 4 million to 7.5 million after falling dramatically following the opening of the tramways in South London which has led to a drop in passenger numbers of 1.25 million in only six months.[citation needed] The original electrification used the overhead system at 6700 V AC, supplied by the power station at Deptford. The line was converted to Southern Railway standard third-rail 660 V DC on 17 June 1928. The South Cross Route, one side of the London Motorway Box the innermost ring road of the unbuilt 1960s London Ringways plan, would have paralleled the South London Line between Wandsworth Road and Peckham Rye stations.
- The Inner South London Line is an 8.5-mile (13.7 km) horseshoe-shaped Inner London railway route from Victoria to London Bridge via Peckham Rye. "Inner" distinguishes it from the Outer South London Line which runs from London Victoria to London Bridge via Gipsy Hill. The line is in Travelcard Zone 2 apart from the termini, which are in Zone 1. Passenger rail services are currently operated by Southern. Until December 2012, Southern operated a half-hourly passenger service between London Bridge and Victoria. As part of the project to create an orbital railway around London, most of the South London Line was incorporated into the London Overground network. The Southern service ceased on 9 December 2012 and westbound services were diverted from Victoria to Clapham Junction, while eastbound trains now join the East London Line instead of terminating at London Bridge. Services travelling north from East Dulwich continue to use the eastern portion of the line from Peckham Rye to London Bridge More information on the Wikipedia page [1]
