The repair works will involve repainting public areas and customer facilities, along with the installation of new waiting shelters, seating and retail refurbishments which are set to be announced over the coming weeks.

Southeastern has said that these improvements are part of a broader plan of building a “better” and “more reliable” railway network for customers, who have increased by seven per cent since 2024.

These improvements also come alongside a new timetable, which will be introduced from December this year and will see Southeastern add a further 220 services to its timetable across London and Kent.

David Wornham, Passenger Services Director at Southeastern, said: “Our stations are the first and last impression our customers receive and that is why we are continually working to ensure they’re at the highest possible standard.

“This £2million investment will see 116 stations deep cleaned alongside improvement and repair work at 20 stations – all to be delivered before the end of March next year.

“We run a growing railway, with over 400,000 journeys in and out of London on our busiest days and this further investment in our stations, alongside our expanded timetable, will help to further increase customer numbers and support our wider communities.”
