Aylesford Railway Station

Aylesford railway station first opened on 18 June 1856. It is on the Medway Valley Line in Kent, and serves Aylesford. Train services are provided by Southeastern.

Services

The typical off-peak service from the station is two trains per hour to Maidstone West, with alternate trains extended to Paddock Wood, and two trains an hour to Strood, for connections to London.

Station Building

The station buildings are gabled and highly decorated, built in Kentish ragstone with Caen stone dressings. Windows replicate those at Aylesford Priory.

Following restoration and refurbishment, the station building received an Ian Allan award in 2001, commemorated by a plaque in the waiting room/booking office, which is now in use as an Indian Takeaway Restaurant.
