Services
The typical off-peak service from the station is two trains per hour to Sheerness-on-Sea, and two trains per hour to Sittingbourne, for connections to London.
On the northbound of the 2 platforms, there is a substantial and historic 2-storey building which contains a ticket office on the ground floor; this is staffed on a part-time basis. In 2008, a PERTIS self-service ticket machine was installed here, at the entrance to the northbound platform.

Famous quotes containing the word services:
“True love ennobles and dignifies the material labors of life; and homely services rendered for love’s sake have in them a poetry that is immortal.”
—Harriet Beecher Stowe (1811–1896)
“Men will say that in supporting their wives, in furnishing them with houses and food and clothes, they are giving the women as much money as they could ever hope to earn by any other profession. I grant it; but between the independent wage-earner and the one who is given his keep for his services is the difference between the free-born and the chattel.”
—Elizabeth M. Gilmer (1861–1951)
“Working women today are trying to achieve in the work world what men have achieved all along—but men have always had the help of a woman at home who took care of all the other details of living! Today the working woman is also that woman at home, and without support services in the workplace and a respect for the work women do within and outside the home, the attempt to do both is taking its toll—on women, on men, and on our children.”
—Jeanne Elium (20th century)
