When the Crystal Palace was built it was served by two stations on two different lines - Crystal Palace high-level station and Crystal Palace low-level station. Crystal Palace high-level station was below Crystal Palace Parade and was directly connected to the Palace by a tunnel (which is now Grade 1 listed). Crystal Palace low-level station was further away (on Anerley Hill) and has a design which references the look of the palace.
When the Crystal Palace burnt down in 1936 it was uneconomic to have two railway stations serving one suburban area. The high-level station closed down and remained derilict for many years. In the 1990s the site was used for housing. The tunnel still remains but is sealed off, but is sometimes opened for people to look at.
Trains to Crystal Palace depart from London Bridge and London Victoria.
