History

Harrietsham station opened on 1 July 1884 as part of the London, Chatham and Dover Railway's extension of the line from Maidstone to Ashford West.[1] The goods yard was on the up side. It comprised three sidings, one of which served a goods shed.[2] Freight facilities were withdrawn on 1 May 1961. The signal box closed on 5 November 1972.[3]

The ticket office is manned only during the morning peak period; at other times a PERTIS 'permit to travel' machine, located at the entrance to the up platform, suffices.
