Today, after the refurbishment, Dover Priory has two platforms, called Platforms one and two! As you can tell, a lot of thought went into the naming of the platforms. A footbridge connects the two platforms and there is also a lift for wheelchair users.
Inside the station there is a café which serves snacks such as sandwiches etc as well as hot and cold drinks. There is also a section inside the café that sells magazines and books.
The toilet facilities are located on platform one and since the refurbishment they are now clean, and a new disabled toilet has now been installed.
The ticket office is just inside the entrance to the station and there is also an information desk where you can enquire about the various tickets on offer.
Finally, there is a car park at the front of the station and there is a charge for using this, £3.50 to park all day which is very reasonable. You will find that the station car park is usually quite full seeing as the parking is so cheap, many people use it!
