This smart-looking station has recently been given a face lift. There is a decent coffee shop (Pumpkin) on the up platform, and the toilets are in good condition. Fast trains to London every hour. The great disadvantage of this station for the visitor is the totally inadequate bus service into town. You can of course walk to the Cathedral in about 20 minutes, but should you need to go further, say to the K&C hospital, you will need to take a taxi which will cost around £10.

Amazing place👍👍👍. If you want to have a rebreather from everyday stress of life/work, visit the canterbury west and explore their various tourist spots. I recommend to walk through the entire journey so you'll appreciate more of the beauty of the place.

Always had a great experience whilst here. There is a restaurant outside Canterbury West if you're hungry or need a coffee. Only caveat of this station is that the ticket machines break quite frequently. If this happens at peak times, you can find enormous queues so make sure to allow enough time before your train to avoid disappointment

Good station, close to the city centre. Shame there's only one fast train per hour to and from London.

Great customer service and the trains never have any signal problems, always on time.

Canterbury west had good links to the high speed trains and the rest of the kent area along the coast. There is an option, for underground or over the bridge to cross over between the platforms. There are stuff members doted around the station. You can make payments via card or the cash booth at the station. But on line it’s quicker and a smooth transition

Good station with self-service machine, cafe and new refurbished toilet. They have photobox, bookshelf where you can take a book for some donation to the charity.

Nice and clean small railway station. As Canterbury is not a very big city you have everything within walking distance from this station. My son says on the outside it looks like a museum 🤣
