A westward view from the "down" platform shows the staggered platform arrangement to good effect, which has been lost at a number of stations over the years as a result of subsequent platform lengthening. Pictured is the recent road bridge which spans both Kent Coast and CTRL lines. The platform staircase is of the same period, as is the palisade fencing on the right. © David Glasspool

A westward view reveals that the racecourse platform surfaces remain intact. Until redevelopment of the adjacent land got underway in 1999, for the building of the CTRL, the prefabricated concrete footbridge of the racecourse platforms remained in existence. © David Glasspool

An eastward view from the road bridge shows passengers disembarking from the slow service to Dover Priory, formed by Class 375 No. 375606. Palisade fencing backing the rear of the "down" platform dates from the building of the CTRL after 1999. The bay platform line formerly resided to the left of the fencing, terminating just short of the bus shelter. © David Glasspool

An eastward view along the "up" platform shows that the western elevation of the station building has partially been taken over by creeper. The vehicles on the right mark the position of the former westward-facing dock line. © David Glasspool
