Greenhithe railway station (also known as Greenhithe for Bluewater) serves the village of Greenhithe in north Kent and Bluewater Shopping Centre. Train services are operated by Southeastern.

The station has been remodelled (2008) to improve accessibility for disabled users and upgrade the station and ticketing facilities as whole: construction is using a new modular design developed by Network Rail. [ [http://www.railwaygazette.com/news_view/article/2008/05//modular_station_opens_this_month.html Modular construction for new stations] ] Before Bluewater was built Greenhithe station was just a small village station serving a few commuters, and did not handle much traffic.
