| East Farleigh station, on the Medway Valley line that
opened between Paddock Wood and Maidstone on 25th September 1844. Twelve years
later the line was extended to Strood on the North Kent line, opening on 18
June 1856. This wooden building on the southbound platform housed the ticket
office but was closed during 1989. The building remained disused for many
years, though was kept in good condition, and is now used by Network Rail
staff.
