During the 1950s and early 1960s British Railways (Southern Region) completed its Kent Coast Electrification schemes, which meant that most of the remaining services from the station were electrified, including boat trains.
I løbet af 1950'erne og primo 1960'erne fuldførte British Railways sine Kent-Coast Electrification-programmer, hvilket betød at det meste af de resterende tog fra stationen blev elektrificeret (inklusive færgetogene).
