Because it is a railway question I feel honour bound to have a go! Is it the old station at Smeeth?

I found it, but have had a couple of goes recently, I’ll wait it out.

Surprisingly it doesn’t appear in either the KentRail or Closed Station websites. How strange.

You need to be heading West, JW.

The other one that comes to mind is Sandling Park Junction?

Not Lyminge JW, but you are not that far away.  I would say in the broad area just too far East by a bit.

It is Stewie, a disused station.  On South Eastern Main Line.

Thanks JW.  Sorry for slow upload.  We had a meeting at my daughter's school last night.  Options evening! Yikes, where did that time go.

Now, where is this?

Originally there was a level crossing where the subway is now, removed when the station was extended. Hence the road that loops around under a bridge to replace the access.

That is the old George Inn, now George House, The Mall, Faversham.

I think i have said before that the brain is an incredible thing.  I recognised the photo immediately but have not walked past it more than twice, and then only in the dark.

Well done DTT.  I really thought that would have lasted longer as it's tucked out of the way.  The arch on the right is the entrance to the subway for Faversham Station.

Over to you

East Kent?  Maybe Canterbury?

Thanks MartinR

I was lucky with that one.  My first thought of waters that went East West was the Swale. Other map detail led me to Haty Ferry area.  Some more GTPs on waterways would be good.

Next one.  What and where?
