Helpline

Assistance navigating through the station and getting on and off trains (by ramp if required) by station staff is available nearly all the time trains are running (See staffing times). There are on train staff able to offer assistance on and off  all Southeastern trains from this station. You can book assistance up to 2 hours before your journey. You can also travel without booking, just make yourself known to staff as far in advance as possible of the train you would like to get - we recommend at least 20 minutes.  The meeting point for assisted travel is the office on platform 1 or if on platform 2/3 you can use the Help Point to get the staff's attention. Outside of Station staffing times, either wait on the platform and get the on train staffs attention or use the Help Points located on the platforms. To request assistance through the help point (assistance point), please use the assistance button which will put you in contact with a Southeastern colleague. Where staff are not available at the station to assist, we have a Mobile Assistance Team who can be deployed to stations. This can be arranged in advance by booking through Customer Services or by using the Help Point on the station (although inevitably there will be a delay if not booked in advance) - alternatively a taxi can be arranged, at no additional cost, to convey you to the nearest station where you can be assisted further.
