Tudor tales
Opened in 1844 and recognised as one of the finest examples of railway architecture built in the Tudor style, the delightful station that is Wateringbury is captured here in the early morning sunlight.
The station lies on the Medway Valley Line in Kent, with the River Medway putting in an appearance on the right. Sadly the main building is no longer in use, although it was Grade II Listed in 1985 and appears to be in reasonable condition.
Southeastern class 375 unit 375302 is doing the honours with the 9.04am Strood - Tonbridge service (2T20) approaching the staggered platform behind me.
In such quiet bucolic surroundings it's hard to believe London's Charing Cross station is less than 40 miles away.
