The Greenwich line is a short railway line in South London that follows part of the route of the London and Greenwich Railway, which was the first railway line in London.
The line diverges from the South Eastern Main Line at North Kent East junction[1] and runs as far as Charlton junction[2] where it connects with the North Kent Line.
