There used to be a branch line towards Ashchurch (for Twekesbury) via Upton-on-Severn operated by the Midland Railway and closed in stages between 1952 and 1971.

The Addiscombe branch line used to have shuttles between Elmers End and Addiscombe until closure on 30 May 1997. This branch was replaced by the Croydon Tramlink. That exact day, and also replaced by the Croydon Tramlink, the West Croydon to Wimbledon branch also closed.
