History
The section of the East Kent Railway between Chatham and Faversham opened on 25 January 1858, and Teynham station opened with the line.
The original two-storey brick built station was demolished in the 1970s and replaced by the prefabricated buildings popular at the time. A manually operated crossing to allow access to Railway Cottages to the north of the line was finally replaced with automatic gates during the upgrading of signalling in December 2011.
