Northfleet railway station serves the town of Northfleet in the Borough of Gravesham in Kent, England. It is 21 miles 69 chains (35.2 km) down the line from ‹See TfM›London Charing Cross. Train services are operated by Southeastern and Thameslink.
The ticket office located on platform 2, on the 'down' side, is situated in the substantial station building. This is staffed between 06:00 - 10:00 Monday to Friday; at other times a ticket machine can be found outside the entrance, accepting card and contactless payments only.
There is no step-free access to platform 1 on the 'up' side. A foot tunnel connects the two platforms.
The station is very close to Ebbsfleet International station (the NNE entrance is only 334 yards (305 m) from Northfleet's station), but passengers (using public transport) will find it far easier to access Ebbsfleet International from Gravesend or Greenhithe, as these stations are more accessible and offer easy access to Fastrack bus services. The walking route between the two stations is 0.6 miles (1 km) or 0.8 miles (1.3 km) and a suitable pedestrian link has not been built because of funding issues and objections from Land Securities.
