Harrietsham Railway Station serves the village of Harrietsham in Kent, providing vital transport links for both local residents and visitors. Managed by Southeastern, the station features two platforms and operates with a focus on customer convenience. The station was originally opened on 1 July 1884 as part of the London, Chatham and Dover Railway’s extension. Although the goods yard and freight facilities were historically significant, they were withdrawn in the early 1960s.
Today, Harrietsham Railway Station offers a range of services primarily using Class 375 and 377 electric multiple units. The typical off-peak schedule includes one train per hour (tph) to London Victoria via Maidstone East and one tph to Ashford International. Additional services are available during peak hours, enhancing connectivity to major destinations including London Charing Cross.
Facilities at the station are tailored to modern commuter needs, featuring a ticket office open during morning peak times and a ‘permit to travel’ machine available at other times. For those travelling by car, there is a car park with 24 spaces, ensuring accessibility for all passengers.
