Facilities
The station has an automated ticket machine on the overbridge. The Southeastern website in March 2014 advertised ticket office hours as 06:40-13:20 from Monday to Friday, with the office closed on weekends.
New level access facilities were constructed to avoid the stairs to the platform. There is now step-free access to platform 1 (northbound) from Marnock Road, and step-free access to platform 2 (southbound) from Lindal Road. There is also step-free access to the ticket office on Brockley Road – although it is a few minutes walk from the step free access points.
