Kidbrooke railway station serves Kidbrooke in the Royal Borough of Greenwich, south-east London. It is 9 miles 51 chains (15.5 km) measured from London Victoria.
The station and all trains serving it are operated by Southeastern.
Location
The station is on the Bexleyheath line, and opened when the line began operating on 1 May 1895. The original station buildings here remained in place until 1972, when they were replaced with a CLASP prefabricated structure, and this in turn was replaced in 1994 by a brown-brick construction with a tiled pitched roof.[3] A new interim station building was opened in 2014 as part of a phased development here, linked to the total rebuild of the Ferrier Estate (now called Kidbrooke Village).[4] A brand new station building was opened on 3 April 2021.[5]
To the west of the station is the short Kidbrooke Tunnel. A goods yard at the station was closed, along with those at Eltham Well Hall and Bexleyheath stations, on 7 October 1968.[6]
