Kearsney Railway Station, situated on the Dover branch of the Chatham Main Line, serves the communities of Kearsney and Temple Ewell. This station, managed by Southeastern, features two platforms and is located 120.9 km from London Victoria, nestled between Shepherds Well and Dover Priory stations. The station building on the country-bound platform houses a booking office open for limited hours on weekday mornings, complemented by a Permit To Travel ticket machine for out-of-hours service.
Originally opened in 1862 as Ewell and renamed Kearsney in 1869, the station was initially built by the London, Chatham & Dover Railway. It played a pivotal role in the development of the local community, particularly around the Railway Bell Hotel. Historically, the station had a small goods siding and a passenger train siding, facilitating early railway operations including a loop towards the Kent Coast Line, primarily used by freight trains.
Today, Kearsney Railway Station offers a typical off-peak hourly service to London Victoria via Chatham, with additional peak hour services to London Bridge and London Cannon Street. All services are operated using Class 375 Electric Multiple Units (EMUs), ensuring efficient and comfortable travel for passengers.
