Summary

[edit]
Description
English: Stoke Level Crossing and the site of Stoke Junction Halt
The line across the Hoo Peninsula is single track and one of the most interesting lines in Kent. Passenger trains ran on this line from 1882 to 1961, which seems surprising now as it doesn't really serve any significant centres of population. It is still in use by regular container trains on their way via Hoo Junction to and from Thamesport on the Isle of Grain. A train heading west over the level crossing at Grain can be seen at 3603260. To the right of the crossing ahead is the site of Stoke Junction Halt. This was opened by the Southern Railway on 7th July 1932 at the same time as the branch to Allhallows-on-Sea which diverged from the 'main' line just to the left of the crossing. Stoke Junction Halt closed on 4th December 1961, the same day as the Allhallows-on-Sea branch, as well as all passenger services on the entire line. A new flyover has recently been opened to take the A228 over the railway line above the site of the former halt and this can be seen ahead. There is now no road traffic over the level crossing and the road is closed off.
