Otford railway station serves Otford in Kent. Train services are provided by Southeastern and Thameslink.

History

The first station at Otford opened on 1 June 1874. It was located at the point where the lines to Bat & Ball and Maidstone diverge (TQ534584). It was purely an exchange station, with no access for the villagers of Otford. The station closed on 1 November 1880.[1] The current Otford station opened on 1 August 1882. It was renamed Otford Junction in 1904, reverting to its original name on 7 July 1929.[2] The station had two through platforms and a bay platform, which was used by shuttle trains to Sevenoaks (Tubs Hill).[3] The yard had two sidings, one of which served a goods shed.[4] Freight facilities were withdrawn on 7 May 1962.[5]

Services

From Monday 23 March 2009, most of the stopping train services to/from Blackfriars were extended (resuming a service pattern from the 1980s) across Central London via the 'Thameslink' route, serving City Thameslink, Farringdon, St Pancras International and Kentish Town, with some peak services extended to St Albans, Luton and Bedford.
