History

[edit]

The station and the line it serves were built by the London, Chatham & Dover Railway, and opened on 22 July 1861, becoming part of the Southern Railway during the grouping of 1923. The line then passed on to the Southern Region of British Railways on nationalisation in 1948 until the privatisation of British Railways.

When sectorisation was introduced, the station was served by Network SouthEast.
