Dungeness railway station
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Dungeness railway station is a station on the Romney, Hythe and Dymchurch Railway in Kent, England.
[edit] History
Dungeness was originally served by a short branch from the South Eastern Railway's Marshlink line from Appledore to New Romney, which closed to passengers on 4 July 1937.
The Lydd to New Romney section closed for good on 6 March 1967, although the line to Lydd is still used to transport waste from the nuclear power stations.
Many of the shacks scattered around the south end of Dungeness arrived in the 1920s when Southern Railway workers purchased old rolling stock which were dragged off the end of the line to be used as holiday shacks.
The 15 inch (380 mm) gauge Romney, Hythe and Dymchurch Railway arrived at Dungeness in 1928, a year after the line reached New Romney and still serves the area.
