The station is managed by Transport for London with passenger services provided by Southeastern, Thameslink and the Elizabeth line.

[citation needed] The station was to be served by the proposed Greenwich Waterfront Transit, however the project was cancelled by Mayor of London Boris Johnson owing to lack of funds.

The Elizabeth line provides a link north west to ExCeL London and Canary Wharf, then onwards to the city centre, Heathrow Airport and Reading.

The first station opened with the line in 1849 and was a typical South Eastern Railway brick building with metal platform shelters.
