A second overall view, little under twenty years after the previous, reveals that this historically-important station remained much the same. Of note is the absence of the prefabricated concrete fencing in the foreground. This had been replaced by a brick wall, the colour of which is in keeping with the original buildings. This view shows to good effect the vaulted glazed canopy sections on both platforms. © David Glasspool

The SER building of 1849 is seen to good effect, the restored brickwork and repainted stone lining being in full view. The structure is a much larger version of the main building at Erith, although the latter does not feature an entrance supported by columns. The single-storey pitched-roof appendix on the left is an addition made by the SER in about 1895, and incorporates the gentlemen's toilets. © David Glasspool

A northward view within the SER lattice footbridge, looking towards the Thames. Sadly, this did not qualify as part of the station's overall Grade II Listed status. As a result, it was removed from the site on completion of a new footbridge to the west, on 1st December 2013. © David Glasspool

Container workings over the North Kent Line have been a regular feature of the route since the opening of Thamesport in 1990. Class 66 No. 66535 is seen heading westward on such a service, using the ''up'' through track used by the Class 56 on the previous pages. © David Glasspool
