Bexley railway station was very hard to reach when I made my trip there last week. The train was held up at Hither Green and Lee for the best part of an hour, due to a failed train in front of us. Or possibly a freight train in front of us. It's hard to be sure because the driver's announcement was very mumbled and indistinct. (I know everyone complains about all the automated announcements on trains nowadays, but at least you can make out what Automatic Auntie is actually saying! The human announcers should try to copy her.)
Anyway, the station is on the Southeastern line via Sidcup. There are two platforms, linked by a foot subway. There's only one exit, through the white, wooden ticket office.
What's outside the station? Old Bexley village, which really does retain a good village feel. The River Cray flows nearby, with various similar villages named after it.
Is it near Bexleyheath station? Not very. It's a good bus journey away if your lucky. Two bus journeys if you're not. I wasn't, but at least it gave me a chance to see Bexleyheath clock Tower (see next post).
