Opened in 2015 by Network Rail on the line from London Victoria to Faversham, this station replaced an earlier station some 500m behind the camera position. View north west towards Strood and London. At one time, Strood and Rochester had five stations between them on two competing tracks. This station is adjacent to the site of the one called Rochester Common (1891-1911), which is now covered by a multi-storey car park just beyond the platform buildings in the distance.

Medway Council has approved Network Rail plans for a new £26 million re-located railway station in Rochester. The new station has been designed to be able to accommodate longer trains than the current station, helping boost capacity and providing more seats for passengers. An integrated transport hub will provide better links to other types of public transport. Several spaces of Corporation Road car-park will be lost, but a new subway will lead under the railway to Rochester Riverside (a huge housing and development site beside the River Medway). Which also includes a new station car park. The new station is due to be completed in winter 2015 The old station is (Image), is about 600 yards right of here.

This new subway is part of the new re-located Rochester Railway Station construction works.
