Faversham

No. 465933 arrived at platform 4 with a terminating service from London Victoria. This was one of thirty-four
Class 465 units refurbished by Wabtec at Doncaster, between September 2004 and March 2005. David Glasspool

The LC&DR rebuilding of the station during 1897 and 1898 provided a spacious layout with two smart station
buildings on either side of the islands. Both were built using crème brick and orange window surrounds, based
on the same design as those main buildings erected at Bickley and Chatham. At Faversham, the ''down'' side
main building is the largest, and normally the only one open issuing tickets. Picture here is the smaller ''up''
side structure, which lacks the façade canopy of its larger ''down'' side counterpart. On the right is the glazed
subway entrance. David Glasspool

Outside the northern perimeter of the station still exists the looming pump house, complete with its trademark
LC&DR arched orange window frames. In the distance is the ''down'' side station building, which was having
remedial work done to the façade canopy at this time. David Glasspool
