When BR was divided into sectors in the 1980s the station was served by Network SouthEast until the privatisation of British Rail.
The station had a very small one storey signal box at the Dartford end of the up platform which closed in November 1970. No goods yard or freight facilities were ever provided.
The station has changed very little over the years except for platform extensions in 1955 and the closure of the signal box.[2][3]

The station building is at street level with steps down to the platforms as the line is in a cutting.
