These days, the railway station runs trains in between London Charing Cross, London Victoria or London Cannon Street, by means of Lewisham and Eltham to the west and Dartford railway station to the east. There are 12 trains each hour during the week; on Sundays, there are 4 trains an hour. The railway station was openedto stimulate the construction of homes. The Barnehurst Estate was built in 1926 which housed many individuals.
In addition to the railway station, Barnehurst is served by five buses, 1 of which goes to the well-liked Bluewater Shopping Centre. There are few buying or leisure opportunities within the town, so people frequently go to surrounding areas employing public transport links or the primary roads.
