You can also travel without booking, just make yourself known to staff as far in advance as possible of the train you would like to get - we recommend at least 20 minutes. There are no staff on the trains that call at this station that can assist. The meeting point for assisted travel is the ticket office or you can use the help point. To request assistance through the help point (assistance point), please use the assistance button which will put you in contact with a Southeastern colleague. Where staff are not available at the station to assist, we have a Mobile Assistance Team who can be deployed to stations This can be arranged in advance by booking through Customer Services or by using the Help Point on the station (although inevitably there will be a delay if not booked in advance) - alternatively a taxi can be arranged, at no additional cost, to convey you to the nearest station where you can be assisted further.
