Summary

Description
English: Station house, Robertsbridge Station South Eastern Railway build the line to Robertsbridge from London in 2 stages. 1845 the line to Tunbridge Wells opened and in 1851 the line to Robertsbridge opened. The next year (1852) the line was extended to its final destination Hastings. The line was built very quickly (and not very well) and several of the tunnels need constant maintenance even today. A branch line to Tenterden used to leave the mainline at Robertsbridge. This was built in 1900, but closed in 1954. The line from Tenterden is now a steam preservation line http://kesr.org.uk/
