Eltham Train Stations: Eltham, New Eltham and Mottingham on Southeastern

Eltham, New Eltham and Mottingham are all Southeastern stations. The details below are from Southeastern's own station pages and National Rail, as read in October 2026. Station facilities and service patterns change, especially lifts and ticket office hours, so check Southeastern or National Rail before you travel.

Eltham station

Southeastern's Eltham page gives the address as Well Hall Road, Eltham, SE9 6SL. It lists services to London Victoria, Cannon Street and Charing Cross, Gravesend, Dartford and Woolwich Arsenal. The station is not fully step-free: Southeastern describes a degree of step-free access to both platforms, via moderate but long ramps from the booking hall. There are no lifts, and National Rail's Eltham page lists step-free access to all platforms via long or steep ramps.

Published facilities include an ATM, a newsagent, a coffee kiosk and vending machines, accessible toilets in the booking hall, CCTV and help points. The ticket office hours listed were Monday to Friday 6:40am to 8pm, Saturday 6:10am to 8pm and Sunday 8:10am to 3:40pm. The car park is run by APCOA with 166 spaces including eight accessible spaces free for registered Blue Badge holders, and the page lists forty sheltered cycle stands, which are unsecured and used at your own risk. Car park prices change, so check before you park.

New Eltham station

Southeastern's New Eltham page gives the address as Station Approach, off Footscray Road, SE9 2AB. It describes step-free access to Platform 1 from the main entrance and to Platform 2 by lift, but when we read the page it said all lifts were out of service, which left Platform 2 inaccessible, and named Sidcup and Mottingham as the nearest fully accessible stations. Check the page for the current position.

Facilities include an ATM, a coffee kiosk, vending machines, toilets on Platform 1 during staffed hours, CCTV and help points. Ticket office hours listed: Monday to Saturday 6:40am to 8pm and Sunday 8:10am to 3:40pm. The car park has 115 spaces run by APCOA, with six accessible spaces free for Blue Badge holders, and there are 15 sheltered cycle spaces in the car park.

Mottingham station

Southeastern's Mottingham page gives the address as Station Approach, off Court Road, SE9 4EW. It lists step-free access to Platform 1 for London services via the main entrance and to Platform 2 for services away from London via the side entrance, but no step-free interchange between platforms. Facilities include an accessible booking office counter, an induction loop, accessible toilets on Platform 1 (staffed hours), a small heated waiting room when staff are present, and CCTV. Ticket office hours listed: Monday to Friday 6:10am to 7:30pm, Saturday 6:40am to 7:30pm and Sunday 8:10am to 3:40pm.
