Sittingbourne railway station is on the Chatham Main Line and the Sheerness Line in north Kent. It is {{convert|44|mi|59|chain|km|lk=in}} down the line from {{stn|London Victoria}}. Train services are provided by Southeastern. Ticket barriers are sometimes in operation, depending on the time of day.

Two new lifts linked by a new footbridge have created a step-free route between the station entrance and platforms to provide better access to train services. The improvements have been funded through the government’s Access for All programme and cost around £1,800,000.^[1]

The work has also included a series of enhancements to station facilities funded through the National Stations Improvement Programme and include relocating and increasing the number of cycle parking spaces outside the station; renovating all passenger toilets; creating new waiting shelters on the platforms and a new waiting room on platform; repositioning the ticket gates to create more space for passengers in the ticket office; and installing a new customer information screen and non-slip flooring in the ticket office.

The Sittingbourne & Kemsley Light Railway's station, at Sittingbourne Viaduct, is a short walk away.
