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]
