Plumstead railway station serves the suburb of Plumstead, in the Royal Borough of Greenwich, east of Woolwich Arsenal. It is 10 miles 1 chain (16.1 km) measured from London Charing Cross. It is served by Southeastern. Plumstead is on the North Kent Line and was opened 10 years after the line opened on 16 July 1859. The platforms are below road level: the gabled station buildings stand on an overbridge at the country end. At this point, there are sidings: the station used to be where the railway system operating within the Royal Arsenal joined the main line. There were plans for the Docklands Light Railway to be extended to Plumstead Railway Station. However, Woolwich Arsenal station was chosen instead. The station is served by local bus routes 53, 96, 99, 122, 177, 180, 244, 301, 380, 422, 469, 472, 672 & N1. The station is located at the western end of the Ridgeway pedestrian and cycle path. Plans are currently being drawn up for the installation of lifts and other accessibility improvements to the station as part of the UK Department of Transport's Access for All Programme.
