Greenhithe
For Bluewater
15th March 2008
The new station building had been completed by the time this picture was taken, but had yet to
open. Work had started on redeveloping the site immediately behind the ''up'' platform, to make
room for a lift shaft. David Glasspool

Just two days later, the lift shafts had been erected on both platforms. These are to a similar design
as those corrugated metal examples which appeared during the Dartford station rebuild of 1972 to
1973. David Glasspool

The dual carriageway in the foreground was built in time for the Bluewater opening in March 1999.
The original road can be seen passing under the narrow railway bridge left of centre. The mass of
scaffolding is emerging from behind the ''up'' platform, where building work was underway to
complete the lift shafts and provide new waiting accommodation. David Glasspool
