The typical off peak train service per hour is:
- 2 northbound, calling at all stations to Cannon Street
- 2 northbound, calling at all stations to Ladywell then fast to London Bridge, Waterloo East and Charing Cross
- 4 southbound, calling at all stations to Hayes on the Hayes line
The first station was opened by the South Eastern Railway on 1 April 1864 adjacent to the north side of Bridge Road. The present station, further to the north, was opened in 1866 when the first station was closed. The station was rebuilt in 1904-6. South of the station is a curve to Beckenham Junction, following the path of the original Mid-Kent Line from Lewisham to Beckenham. It is served by two trains a day.

Famous quotes containing the word services:
“We now in the United States have more security guards for the rich than we have police services for the poor districts. If you’re looking for personal security, far better to move to the suburbs than to pay taxes in New York.”
—John Kenneth Galbraith (b. 1908)
“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)
“Those services which the community will most readily pay for, it is most disagreeable to render.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
