We passed by on the RRB, yesterday (on the way to Gillingham). It seems to be closer to the town centre than the old station and far more accessible form the road. Very impressed.
+jagman84 It's much closer and convenient to the town centre - will be using this more often whenever I travel by train. As for the road access bit, it's a nightmare coming from Chatham as you have to do a u-turn by Mick's MOTs to get there. However they're planning to build a multi-storey car park which will be shared by the station and an also-planned shopping centre and housing development on the other side of the viaduct, which is what the local area manager told me. But, either way, I'm impressed with the design and how quickly it was built. Just a few bits of touching up to do :)
"We went to see the first trains at the new Rochester station. 13/12/15" That looks like the screwball way Americans write dates :-/ Do you mean 2013.12.15? Or 13-December-2015? Or Whatever-month-follows-December / 12 / 2015?
I miss the white 375's :(

This looks way too iMovie mobile for me :(
Is it completely refurbished, how did they make it new?
+munkboy15 It's at a different location. It's completely rebuilt. There used to be a carpark at that site. The old one still remains but is closed.

Okay. Thanks for the clarification :-p
That's alright :-)
