The station has been unstaffed since September 1989, and the booking office on the Strood-bound platform subsequently demolished. A PERTIS (permit to travel) passenger-operated self-service ticket machine was installed on the Strood-bound platform in 2007–08.

Connections to London are available from either Strood or Paddock Wood, or from Maidstone East, a short walk away. During peak hours there are also high speed services to and from London St Pancras.
