Facilities
[edit]
The station has an automated ticket machine on the overbridge; the station ticket office is open Mon – Fri 0640–1320. In 2007 the ticket office was closed at weekends; however recently (mid-2008) the ticket office has been open on Saturdays. The Southeastern website in March 2014 advertised ticket office hours as Mon – Fri: 06:40 – 13:20/ Sat – Sun: closed.
New level access facilities were constructed to avoid the stairs to the platform (as of 2008). There is now step-free access to platform 1 (northbound) from Marnock Road, and step-free access to platform 2 (southbound) from Lindal Road. There is also step-free access to the ticket office on Brockley Road – although it is a few minutes walk from the step free access points.
