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:
“If Germany, thanks to Hitler and his successors, were to enslave the European nations and destroy most of the treasures of their past, future historians would certainly pronounce that she had civilized Europe.”
—Simone Weil (1909–1943)
“I do seriously believe that if we can measure among the States the benefits resulting from the preservation of the Union, the rebellious States have the larger share. It destroyed an institution that was their destruction. It opened the way for a commercial life that, if they will only embrace it and face the light, means to them a development that shall rival the best attainments of the greatest of our States.”
—Benjamin Harrison (1833–1901)
