Zone 5 rail station in South London, with trains to [[Victoria Station|Victoria]] and [[London Bridge Station|London Bridge]] (both departing from platform 3). It's also a terminus of the [[Category London Overground|London Overground]] [[Category East London Line|East London Line]] (platform 1, except on Sundays when it arrives on platform 4 and departs from platform 3). Around the back of the station, on Station Road, there's a tram stop and a bus station. The main entrance is on London Road, and there are two secondary entrances, one step-free to platforms 1 and 3 (accessed via the car park to the north of the main entrance) and the other step-free to platform 4 (on Station Road). The Station Road entrance [http://www.londonreconnections.com/2012/new-entrance-at-west-croydon-station/ opened in mid-2012] to provide step-free access to platform 4 and to give better onward transfer to trams and buses. Note that platform 4 has trains towards [[Sutton Station|Sutton]], [[Epsom Station|Epsom]], and [[Epsom Downs Station|Epsom Downs]]; for trains towards central London, the London Road entrances are more convenient. The walk to [[East Croydon Station]] is just over a kilometre (around two-thirds of a mile). Alternatively, it's two stops on the tram (the reverse journey, East Croydon to West Croydon, is slightly longer by tram due to one-way running in the centre). As of July 2017 there's a book swap shelf accessed via platform 1 <small>[https://www.flickr.com/photos/kake_pugh/35910743801/ photo]</small>.
