History

The station was built in 1856, for the South Eastern Railway. It is a Grade II listed building, with two storeys: the lower floors were for the station offices and public rooms and the upper floors designed as the station master's flat.[1] The station is located just to the north of the High Street, with a passenger footbridge and a level crossing over the railway.

The former Queen's Head Hotel adjacent to the station was built to serve railway passengers: it closed in 1991 is now a residential care facility.[2]

Snodland was once equipped with a goods shed and sidings located behind platform 2 of which the remaining supports the platform 2 canopy. To the immediate north of the station a pair of goods loops, remnants of which can be seen. The late 19th century signal box alongside the station has been closed and is now a listed building.[3]

The ticket office was originally closed around 1990, and in 2007, a PERTIS (Permit to Travel) ticket machine was installed just outside the entrance to the northbound platform. The ticket office was reopened in September 2016.[4]
