This station is definitely not the one to get off of for London, if you are traveling to London from Paris via Eurostar. Este no está el lugar que quieres para Londón. If you are supposed to get off here, make it quick, because the train essentially stops for like a minute. FYI! I hope this helps someone!

In fact, it looks like it was upgraded for HS1, but then I realised that HS1 really doesn't go here. Well, it does, but splits off. Anyway, while it is pretty modern, the fact that it is next to the town centre is really helpful.

Rochester station serves the historic Kent cathedral town, but was actually opened rather late in…read moreUK railway history. Despite having a line through the town from 1858 when the East Kent Railway extended their route from Chatham across the Medway to join the South Eastern line to London, no station was provided for Rochester itself. Passengers were expected to alight either at Chatham or Strood, across the river. The present station was finally opened in 1892 bby the London, Chatham and Dover railway, with a station building in a simple domestic style in cream brick, built alongside the viaduct on which the platforms are located. Despite its attractive appearance, passenger facilities are limited to the ticket office, a waiting room and toilets on the main London-bound platform, and limited cycle storage facilities. The station has two long island platforms, although only the London side retains its attractive Victorian platforms awnings: eastbound passengers to Chatham and beyond make do with a simple hut. One upside is that are there are fine views across the former docks and the Medway river. There is a lift to provide wheelchair access to both platforms and a taxi company in the station building and a taxi rank in front. The station is just a few minutes' walk from the High Street. Services are provided by the Southeastern railway, with frequent trains to both London Bridge and Victoria station, and to Chatham and Dover going east. From late 2009 it will also be served by domestic services on the High Speed line to St Pancras.

There's a side entrance to get straight onto Platform 1 (which is the C2C down to Fenchurch St), with a convenient pick-up/drop-off bit outside. Last time I was there they weren't able to help me with my oyster card, and told me to go to an underground station - which is kind of difficult to do with a broken oyster card! That was a while ago though so hopefully not a problem any more. My grandma once fell down the steps there so be careful.

You can get a train from here into Kent and also to central London via Greenwich and Bexley lines - which is quite cool. There is also a little shop which used to be in the station and which I believe will be moving back in when the station is finished. I do miss not being able to use my Oyster here, and because it is outside the Oyster zone tickets are quite expensive. I also don't like the fact I can't top my oyster up here - yes I know I can't use it, but what if I want to check my balance etc!

There's almost always some literature about things to see and do in the area at the counters. Do pick up the Kent 2for1 offer booklet if you plan to visit any of the main sites in the area. The station does have 2 exits. So be sure you know which exit you need to get out of. As far as I understand, taxis only come to one of the sides, if you call them to pick you up, otherwise it's more of a place to park your car while picking or dropping someone.

It has a much nicer atmosphere in the mornings as they've added a cafe car onto the London bound platform. It's a pretty relaxed place all-in-all and the barriers are often open on the Kent bound platform (if that's your thing). Around the station there's a great selection of small shops including a top-rate florist and an iPhone repair place, so if you need to apologise for being so late home (due to southeastern railways sloppy train times) you're covered. Likewise when you throw your phone in frustration, you don't have to go far for a repair. All in all a good little station in a great commuter location.
