Falconwood station in the snow
Although the snow had only stopped a couple of hours beforehand, trains were running and in fact I had just got off one. The photograph is taken from the footbridge and looks down the line towards Welling.

Rail enthusiasts' special passing through Falconwood station
The line from Blackheath to Dartford was opened on 1st May 1895. Falconwood station was opened much later than the remainder of the line, on 1st January 1936, to serve a growing area. This view looks down the line towards Welling. The main station buildings are above the up platform at the top of the cutting.
This train was a real enthusiasts’ day out. It left Derby at 6 am on 30th October 2021 to visit the Isle of Grain Freight Line in North Kent before going back via Hither Green to visit the Dungeness Nuclear Fuel Freight Line. It eventually returned to Derby at midnight so the enthusiasts spent over 18 hours on the train with just a 20 minute break at Ashford International. That is true dedication. It is here leaving Falconwood station at 11.40 on its way to Grain. For a photograph of the locomotive at the front see https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/7005216

Falconwood Station, looking east
Falconwood Station opened after the rest of the Bexleyheath line on January 1, 1936. It is noticeable that electrical power is still picked up from power lines on the ground (the centre two in the image, but transferring to outside the rails beyond the platform) in this quarter of the London commuter belt, rather than from above. The next station is at Welling. Most trains run to Dartford or Gillingham.
