Hayes Line

Hayes Line

The Hayes Line is the railway service in south east London, United Kingdom operated by Southeastern between Charing Cross or Cannon Street and Hayes in the London Borough of Bromley. Part of its route follows the Mid-Kent Railway.

The line was electrified with the other SECR urban routes during the interwar years by Southern Railway.

During the planning of the Fleet line, now the Jubilee line it was intended that the line would continue on from Charing Cross and then travel through Central London with stations at Aldwych, Ludgate Circus (City Thameslink), Canon Street and Fenchurch Street then taking over the East London line continuing to Lewisham; a further extension envisiged from Lewisham to Hayes and Addiscombe was planned by taking over the Hayes line from the National Rail network. However, after many changes, the Fleet line was renamed the current Jubilee line and eventually took a completely new alignment from Green Park and today the Jubilee platforms at Charing Cross are no longer in use.
