PARLIAMENTARY SERVICES
SPECIAL PAGE

New Beckenham
There are a small number of parliamentary train services operating at odd times of the day over very little used lines.
 
These services keep small sections of track open and avoid train operators/ network rail paying large sums of money to have these sections of track closed.  Due to acts of parliament the section of line requires a train of some sort to run over it – that being an empty train, limited train service or freight train.
The New Beckenham Parliamentary Service operates between London Cannon Street and Beckenham Junction via New Beckenham.

The short spur of track between New Beckenham and Beckenham Junction is only used by this passenger service.  At other times the line is used by empty coaching stock moves or during times of local engineering works.
