Along with most stations on the North Kent suburban lines, the platforms at Charlton were being extended to take 12-car trains. This end of the platforms is across a grid line from the rest of the station in TQ4178. Beyond the platforms can be seen the junction where direct trains to London take the right-hand pair of tracks, and those on the older route via Blackheath keep left.
