ABBEY WOOD RAILWAY STATION

'Abbey Wood railway station' serves the suburb of Abbey Wood in South East London. It is served by Southeastern, and is between Plumstead and Belvedere stations on the North Kent Line. Crossrail line 1's south eastern branch is expected to terminate here, as is the Greenwich Waterfront Transit a putative segregated busway. Local interests are campaigning for both these schemes to extend further eastwards, to Ebbsfleet/Gravesend and Erith respectively.
The station's name boards identify it as 'Abbey Wood for Thamesmead', as it is the closest railway station to Thamesmead (buses run from the station to Thamesmead proper).
