Sittingbourne railway station is on the Chatham Main Line and the Sheerness Line in north Kent. The station is 44 miles 1260 yards from London Victoria according to the mileage sign on the footbridge. Train services are provided by Southeastern. Ticket barriers are sometimes in operation, though it depends on the time of day.

Currently, a new footbridge with two lifts, for disabled access is being built. This will create a step-free route between the station entrance and platforms 2 and 3.
