Notes: Intermediate station on the branch from Dunton Green to Westerham. In summer 1962 the Westerham Railway Association leased Westerham station from British Railways with plans to reopen the line for use by both commuters and enthusiasts. This was an early example of a proposed preserved railway. The plan was eventually abandoned and much of the branch line now lies under the M25 mororway.
