Ham Street railway station serves Hamstreet in Kent, England. It is on a dual-track section of the Marshlink Line, and train services are provided by Southern.
The line is unelectrified and services are operated by Class 171 Turbostar diesel trains.
A staffed booking office is provided in the building on the Ashford-bound platform. PERTIS passenger-operated self-service ticket machines have now been removed and replaced with a new Ticket Vending machine, which allows a ticket to be purchased from any origin, as opposed to just from Ham Street. PERTIS passenger-operated self-service machines were installed in connection with a Penalty Fares Scheme in 2008, are were located on both platforms. Customers are now required to purchase a ticket from the Ticket Vending Machine on the Ashford platform, if the facilities are available to purchase the ticket the customer requires.

Famous quotes containing the words ham, street, railway and/or station:
“We had some ham and eggs and took our time saying goodbye to the bright lights.”
—Stanley Kubrick (b. 1928)
“And in these dark cells,
packed street after street,
souls live, hideous yet
O disfigured, defaced,
with no trace of the beauty
men once held so light.”
—Hilda Doolittle (1886–1961)
“Her personality had an architectonic quality; I think of her when I see some of the great London railway termini, especially St. Pancras, with its soot and turrets, and she overshadowed her own daughters, whom she did not understand—my mother, who liked things to be nice; my dotty aunt. But my mother had not the strength to put even some physical distance between them, let alone keep the old monster at emotional arm’s length.”
—Angela Carter (1940–1992)
“How soon country people forget. When they fall in love with a city it is forever, and it is like forever. As though there never was a time when they didn’t love it. The minute they arrive at the train station or get off the ferry and glimpse the wide streets and the wasteful lamps lighting them, they know they are born for it. There, in a city, they are not so much new as themselves: their stronger, riskier selves.”
—Toni Morrison (b. 1931)
