Higham railway station, Kent

Higham railway station is in the hamlet of Lower Higham in North Kent. The village of Higham is about to the south. Train services are operated by Southeastern. (Not to be confused with the closed station at Higham in Suffolk.)
The ticket office, on the 'up' side, is situated in the substantial station building. This is manned only during part of the day; at other times a PERTIS passenger-operated ticket machine issues 'Permits to Travel' - which are exchanged on-train or at manned stations for travel tickets - and is located at the entrance to the up platform, at the foot of the staircase.
From Higham to Strood, the railway passes through a tunnel built for the Thames and Medway Canal, and the station building was converted from the home of the canal towing contractor. The waiting room was heated by the original open fire until as recently as the 1980s.
One of the more unusual pieces of freight handled by the station was a Swiss chalet, in 94 separate pieces, packed into 58 boxes. It arrived over Christmas 1864 as a gift for Charles Dickens at nearby Gad's Hill.〔(The Chalet in the Shrubbery ) - Retrieved 4 January 2006〕
According to the Official Handbook of Stations the following classes of traffic were being handled at this station in 1956: G, P, L, H, C and there was a 1 ton 2 cwt crane.
〔''Official Handbook of Stations,'' British Transport Commission, 1956〕

The typical off-peak service from the station is:
*2tph (trains per hour) to London Charing Cross via Dartford, Woolwich Arsenal and Greenwich
*2tph to Gillingham
