Railway station serving the Borough of Tonbridge & Malling

Barming railway station is located in Tonbridge and Malling Borough, west of Maidstone in Kent, England, and approximately 1 mile from Barming and Maidstone Hospital. It is 37 mile (60 km) down the line from The station and all trains serving it are operated by Southeastern.

Barming station opened on 1 June 1874 as part of the London, Chatham and Dover Railway's Maidstone Line from to Maidstone. The goods yard had two sidings, one of which served a goods shed. Freight facilities were withdrawn on 5 December 1960. The signal box closed on 24 April 1982. The platforms are of 6 car length only, despite the majority of services throughout the day being formed of 8 cars. The original station building remains on the down (Country bound) platform 2, with a substantial wooden shelter on the up (London bound) platform. The ticket office is staffed for limited hours during the morning peak period on Mondays to Fridays; at other times a [TVM] 'ticket vending machine', also located on the down platform, suffices. A passenger information screen is located on the down platform 2 and provides information relating to train running times for both platforms. The station entrances/exits are on the down Platform 2. There is no level access to Platform 1. The concrete footbridge which spanned the tracks at the western end of the station, linking the platforms, was life expired and demolished in early 2013. It was an example of the standard pre fabricated design built at the Southern Railway's concrete factory at Exmouth Junction, east of Exeter. The replacement footbridge to the standard Network Rail design is at the extreme eastern end of the station.

The Station has a ticket officer, which since lockdown, is no longer in use. It is locked and the station is unstaffed. The station has a chargeable car park with 80 spaces at its entrance which is operated by Saba Parking. There is also a small 16 capacity cycle rack at the station entrance. The station has step free access available to the Ashford bound platform although the London bound platform is only reachable by the use of steps.
