Rochester railway station is on the Chatham Main Line in Rochester, Medway, South East England. The majority of services are provided by Southeastern, with a handful of peak services to and from Bedford operated by Thameslink.
On 13 December 2015, a new £26m station on Corporation Street opened 500m west of the original station which it replaced. This station has 12 coach long platforms instead of 10 coach maximum length at the original station. It links the station to the large proposed Rochester Riverside mixed-use development on the River Medway.
The new station is an "integrated transport hub" to connect to buses, a drop-off point (for car and taxi passengers) and a £1.8m subway between the high street, the station and the housing development. It is closer than the old station to the town centre, and to such historic attractions as Rochester Cathedral, Rochester Castle, Restoration House and Eastgate House.
On 16 January 2014 Gallagher Ltd cast the reinforced concrete base slab for a new subway for the station. A little over a year later, on 26 January 2015, Transport Secretary Patrick McLoughlin was given a tour of the site, and was quoted as saying, "Rochester’s new station will be a big improvement for this historic town. It will benefit commuters and visitors thanks to longer trains and more seats for passengers.". According to the billboards adjoining the station site, the 900-tonne concrete subway was to be the first part of the project to be completed; this was scheduled took place over Easter 2015. Office of Rail Regulation confirmation of the closure of the old station were exhibited at Charing Cross station and elsewhere in October 2015.
