Looking in the Ashford direction from the western end of the “up” platform, the prefabricated concrete footbridge of 1960 can be seen in the background. On the left is the extension of the “down” platform erected in 1988, whilst the dense group of trees on the right are upon the former single-track approach to the goods shed. © David Glasspool

Looking west from the “down” side, the 1960 eastward extension of the “up” platform is evident on the left. The lengthening of the “up” platform necessitated the connection between the “up” running line and yard being moved east. The black metal bridge carries a public footpath. © David Glasspool

Today’s station building is situated upon the former site of the goods shed, which would have allowed its predecessor to remain in use during construction. A larger variation of the same architecture came into use at Headcorn and a series of stations upon the Dartford Loop Line via Sidcup in the late 1980s. © David Glasspool

The fenced off area on the left of this westward view from the footbridge was a coal yard into the 1990s. By 2010, it had become part of the car park. The curved glazed platform shelter in the left middle distance is upon part of the site of the former main SER station building and appeared at the time of reconstruction. © David Glasspool
