The route between Faversham and Whitstable was opened by the Margate Railway on 1st August 1860, and was extended to Herne Bay on 13th July 1861. What is now Chestfield & Swalecliffe station was originally opened as "Swalecliffe Halt" on 6 July 1930 by the Southern Railway. It was later renamed "Chestfield & Swalecliffe Halt", then shortened to "Chestfield" in 1987 and reverted to "Chestfield & Swalecliffe" in 1989. This is the view from the down platform. The next station in this direction is Whitstable. The bridge just ahead is over the B2205.
