Aylesford station - footbridge and southbound platform
The station platforms at Aylesford are staggered, and linked by a footbridge near the end of each platform. The line follows the twists and turns of the Medway valley - at this point the line is running almost east/west but it makes more sense to refer to the platforms as northbound (left of this view) and southbound (right). The station also straddles the grid line, so other photos of it are in Image

Footbridge at Aylesford station
The Medway Valley Line was built in two stages by the South Eastern Railway. The first stage opened in 1844 was from Paddock Wood following the Medway Valley to Maidstone. In 1856 the line was extended down the Medway Valley to the North Kent Line at Strood (which had opened in 1847). Aylesford station opened like the rest of the line on 18th June 1856. The section of the line surrounding Aylesford Station passed through the Preston Hall Estate, which was the then home of Edward Betts, the railway contractor who built this part of the Medway Valley Line. As a result the station building on the northbound platform is much grander than the other country stations along the line. The station buildings are gabled and highly decorated, and in part reflect a simplified version of the style of Preston Hall. This building closed in September 1989 and an Indian restaurant was subsequently established in the building, which had been extensively renovated in a prizewinning scheme in 1988. This view taken from the Strood-bound platform looks to the footbridge which is a typically attractive South Eastern structure found on so many of their stations.

The former station building at Aylesford
The Medway Valley Line was built in two stages by the South Eastern Railway. The first stage opened in 1844 was from Paddock Wood following the Medway Valley to Maidstone. In 1856 the line was extended down the Medway Valley to the North Kent Line at Strood (which had opened in 1847). Aylesford station opened like the rest of the line on 18th June 1856. The section of the line surrounding Aylesford Station passed through the Preston Hall Estate, which was the then home of Edward Betts, the railway contractor who built this part of the Medway Valley Line.

This building closed in September 1989 and an Indian restaurant was subsequently established in the building, which had been extensively renovated in a prizewinning scheme in 1988. This view taken from the footbridge shows a Strood-bound train pulling in over the level crossing and coming to a stop next to the old station building. The former level crossing keeper's cottage is in a similar style - see http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/3429744
