Bickley railway station is in the London Borough of Bromley in south London. It lies between Bromley South and Swanley stations. The station and all trains are operated by Southeastern, and is in Travelcard Zone 5.
The station was opened by the London, Chatham and Dover Railway (LCDR), originally by a line from Bromley on 7 July 1858; and then, on 3 December 1860, the line from the east, completing the link between Victoria and Faversham, and later, in 1861, to Dover. To the east of the station are what are known as the Bickley Loops which connect the ex-LCDR ines with those of the erstwhile South Eastern Railway, constructed in 1902.
The station lies on the four-track main line, Fast and Slow lines paired; crossovers allow trains to use the Bickley Loops. There are two island platforms, with stairs leading up to the station buildings at the country end of the station, located on Southborough Road.
The typical off-peak service is:
- 2tph (trains per hour) to London Victoria via Herne Hill
- 2tph to London Blackfriars via Catford and Peckham Rye
- 2tph to Orpington, calling at all stations
- 2tph to Sevenoaks via Swanley
