Sandling Railway Station

Facts and Figures

Sandling railway station serves Sandling in Kent, England. The station, and all trains serving it, is operated by Southeastern. The station is also 4 1⁄2 miles (7.2 km) west of Folkestone Central on the South Eastern Main Line. It is the closest station to the town of Hythe.

The ticket office is manned only during part of the day; at other times a PERTIS 'permit to travel' machine, located outside the station building on the 'up' side, suffices.

It is the closest station to Saltwood Castle (where Alan Clark lived until his death) and it is frequently mentioned in the Alan Clark Diaries. In 1960, the station was allocated a camping coach converted from a Pullman car, which was fitted with a full kitchen, two sleeping compartments and a room with two single beds.

Originally it opened as Sandling Junction and had four platforms. The up branch platform was closed when the line to Sandgate was cut back to Hythe and the branch line singled in 1931. When line to Hythe was closed in 1951 the down branch platform was closed. Subsequently the station was renamed Sandling for Hythe. In 2010 the disused branch platform is still in situ.
