East Kent Railway - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (487 words) |
 | The East Kent Railway (EKR) was incorporated in 1853 for the construction of a line from the South Eastern Railway (SER) (North Kent line) at Strood to the city of Canterbury. |
| In 1850 the railway provision in the north of the county of Kent was very poor. |
| All that remained was the Act authorising the EKR extension to St Mary Cray, and this was granted in 1858: in the following year the East Kent Railway changed its name to the London, Chatham and Dover Railway. |
