The station is operated by London Overground, with London Overground and Southern trains serving the station. Thameslink and some Southern services pass through the station. It is located in Travelcard Zone 3.
The line on which it stands was opened in 1839, but this station was only opened by the London, Brighton and South Coast Railway on 1 April 1886. The housebuilders who were developing the area contributed £1,000 towards the cost of construction.[3] There are four tracks through the station, with platforms on the outer Slow lines. These platforms are connected to the booking office (see illustration) by a footbridge. It was named to distinguish it from the Honor Oak station which existed at the time.
London Overground took over operating the station in September 2009, which has benefited from the London Overground East London Line extension, completed in May 2010.[3] The East London line scheme has led to Honor Oak Park being well connected to other stations in South and East London with direct trains to Whitechapel (19 minutes), Shoreditch (23 minutes), Canada Water (10 minutes), London Victoria and London Bridge (11 minutes). Commuter areas such as Canary Wharf, Liverpool Street, Kings Cross and Waterloo are just one change of train away. From 2021 you will be able to directly interchange with Crossrail service at Whitechapel.
Despite past hopes that the Thameslink Project[4] could provide direct trains along the Thameslink core via St Pancras International to destinations north of London, since the completion of the project in 2020, Thameslink trains have continued to run fast through the station, though with an improved interchange at London Bridge.
Services at Honor Oak Park are operated by Southern and London Overground using Class 377 and 378 EMUs.
The typical off-peak service in trains per hour is:[5][6]
The station is also served by a single early morning and late evening service to East Croydon via Norwood Junction, with the early morning service continuing to Tattenham Corner and Caterham.
