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.

I well recall the time when prime hard crabs of the channel species, blue in color, at least eight inches in length along the shell, and with snow-white meat almost as firm as soap, were hawked in Hollins Street of Summer mornings at ten cents a dozen.”

“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)
“When, in the course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the laws of nature and of nature’s God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.”
—Thomas Jefferson (1743–1826)
