However, the Greenwich railway had underestimated the cost of building the long viaduct leading to London Bridge and was not able to build a sufficiently large station for the traffic for both companies, and so in July 1836 it sold some land adjacent to its station (then still under construction) to the Croydon railway to build their own independent station.
Greenwichbanen havde dog undervurderet omkostningerne af byggeriet af den lange viadukt, som fører til London Bridge, og var ikke i stand til at bygge en stor nok station til begge selskabers trafik, så i juli 1836 solgte de en grund tilstødende deres station (der stadig var under anlæg) til Croydonbanen, så de kunne bygge deres egen station.
