Yalding railway station is on the Medway Valley Line in Kent, England, and serves Yalding. Train services are provided by Southeastern. The station is 3 1⁄2 miles (5.6 km) east of Paddock Wood.
The APTIS-equipped ticket office (on the southbound platform) closed in 1989; the building was then used for commercial purposes but has recently become disused. In 2007, a PERTIS (Permit to Travel) ticket machine was installed at the entrance to the southbound platform.
Services
The typical off-peak service from the station is one train per hour to Paddock Wood and Tonbridge, and one train an hour to Strood. Connections to London are available at either of these two stations, or by changing at Maidstone Barracks and walking to Maidstone East.
