Bexleyheath station in 1970

4EPB unit 5155 pauses with the 11.24 train from Dartford.

The Bexleyheath line had been somewhat of a rural backwater and remained so even for a few years after electrification in 1926, but house building took off with great rapidity and it was soon one of the busiest suburban lines in London.

This resulted in most of the station buildings being rebuilt in the mid-1930s.
