Future Development
As part of the government's Access for All scheme, Southeastern started improvements to the station in late 2011, planned to be completed by summer 2012 in time for the London 2012 Olympics.
The improvements are to include two new lifts to provide step-free access between the main station building and platforms, a new station frontage, an enlarged booking hall, reduced clutter on the platforms, improvements to the existing staircases, and refurbished toilets, including a fully accessible toilet at platform level.
Platform lifts were completed and opened on 31 Aug 2012. The remaining work is still in progress.

Famous quotes containing the words future and/or development:
“I was so grateful to be independent of the academic establishment. I thought, how awful it would be to have my future hinge on such people and such decisions.”
—Jane Jacobs (b. 1916)
“The man, or the boy, in his development is psychologically deterred from incorporating serving characteristics by an easily observable fact: there are already people around who are clearly meant to serve and they are girls and women. To perform the activities these people are doing is to risk being, and being thought of, and thinking of oneself, as a woman. This has been made a terrifying prospect and has been made to constitute a major threat to masculine identity.”
—Jean Baker Miller (20th century)
