Summary edit

Description
English: Former Westerham Railway, Kent. Once upon a time, and here we're talking around fifty years ago, Westerham had its own railway station. A tank engine, usually a push-pull fitted M7, trundled two antiquated carriages up and down, some four miles to the junction with the South Eastern main line at Dunton Green, where you could change for a train up to London or down to the coast at Hastings. But the line did not pay its way, (they never tried diesel cars here), and di not even survive to be axed by the notorious Beeching. Most of the line was built over when the M25 was constructed, but this small section towards Westerham escaped that fate and the right-of-way survives as a farm track. Ironically the M25 never gave a direct connection to Westerham, and drivers are faced with a few miles along the A25 before they can access the motorway.
