Dartford railway station serves the town of Dartford in Kent , England . All train services from the station are operated by Southeastern , who also manage the station.

The station is the nodal point for three lines from London:


The first station was opened here by the South Eastern Railway it extended its North Kent Line from Gravesend on July 30 1849, taking the line from there to London. The original station building had an Italianate design; this has now been replaced by a modern, more efficient ticket office complex using glass and metal. A footbridge leads across the line to the two island platforms, which are capable of a very large number of train movements during a working day. There are four carriage sidings at the country end of the station.

Dartford station is notable because, despite its location outside Greater London , London residents with Freedom Passes (but not Oyster Card s) may travel to and from the station.
