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.
