On 12 July 1925, a 660-volt third-rail system came into operation on both routes through Herne Hill: from Victoria to Orpington on the Chatham Main Line and along the entire length of the City Branch.

However, there was a decline in the number of electric passenger services on the Chatham Main Line through Herne Hill in the years after the war.

This would have required the grade separation of the two lines through Herne Hill, which would have been achieved by constructing a new viaduct immediately to the east of the existing viaduct and using a fly-over to connect the southern end of the new viaduct to the line between Tulse Hill and North Dulwich ( taking the tracks over the Chatham Main Line and towards Tulse Hill ).

An option for this route was via Herne Hill, which would have required quadrupling the tracks on the Chatham Main Line between Shortlands and Herne Hill and on the City Branch to Loughborough Junction ; it was estimated that this would have led to the loss of 90 – 180 homes in Lambeth.
