Wye railway station serves Wye in Kent, England. The station, and all trains serving it, is operated by Southeastern.
The platforms are connected by a concrete footbridge - a typical product of the Southern Railway concrete factory at Exmouth Junction. There is a manned level crossing at the south end of the station. There is a separate car park (free) to the NW of the station.
The station is manned for part of the day. There is no passenger-operated ticket machine at this location. A PERTIS passenger-operated ticket machine issues 'Permit to Travel' tickets which are exchanged on-train or at manned stations for travel tickets. This is located on the Ashford-bound platform, by the footbridge.
Substantial station buildings on the Ashford-bound platform contain the booking office and signal box. There is a substantial shelter on the Canterbury-bound platform.

Famous quotes containing the words wye, railway and/or station:
“The Wye is hush’d nor moved along,
And hush’d my deepest grief of all,
When fill’d with tears that cannot fall,
I brim with sorrow drowning song.”
—Alfred Tennyson (1809–1892)
“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)
“[T]here is no situation so deplorable ... as that of a gentlewoman in real poverty.... Birth, family, and education become misfortunes when we cannot attain some means of supporting ourselves in the station they throw us into. Our friends and former acquaintances look on it as a disgrace to own us.... If we were to attempt getting our living by any trade, people in that station would think we were endeavoring to take their bread out of their mouths.”
—Sarah Fielding (1710–1768)
