History
The line from Herne Hill to Beckenham Junction was built by the London, Chatham and Dover Railway (LCDR) and opened in 1863.[2] The station was opened as "Dulwich" in the same year. The prefix "West" was added in 1926.[3][4]

On Sundays, there is a half-hourly service each way.[5] These services are operated by Southeastern.
