Falconwood Station opened after the rest of the Bexleyheath line on January 1, 1936. It is noticeable that electrical power is still picked up from power lines on the ground (the centre two in the image, but transferring to outside the rails beyond the platform) in this quarter of the London commuter belt, rather than from above. The next station is at Welling. Most trains run to Dartford or Gillingham.
