It was opened on 1 December 1862.^[5] Selhurst station was not however opened until 1 May 1865.^[6] According to the Railway Gazette for 30 November 1962 the station was originally called Colliers Water Lane, but the standard history of the line was unable to verify the statement ^[7]

The lines were quadrupled in 1903.^[8] In 1925 the lines were electrified.^[9]
