The station, initially consisting of two platforms, was opened in November 1858 by the London, Chatham and Dover Railway.[citation needed] Electric trains, the first in Kent, began running on the Southern Railway's third rail system between London, Bromley South and Orpington in July 1925.[citation needed] The last passenger steam trains to serve Bromley South did so in 1959, when lines to the Kent Coast were third rail electrified.[citation needed]
Between 1986 and 1999, locomotive-hauled trains between the Kent Coast, the West Midlands, the North West and, for a time, Scotland called at Bromley South.[citation needed]
