The map shows simply a cutting, but this is wide enough to accommodate the Maidstone-Ashford line on the left and the end of the Lenham Storage depot siding on the right. The latter is not much used now, but still active as can be seen from the brightly-coloured equipment. Hope for the future of railfreight?
