Dartford is the principal town in the borough of Dartford.
The first railway from London to reach the town was the North KentLine via Woolwich in 1849, connecting at Gravesend with the line through the Medway Towns.
Dartford is proud of its sons (Sir) Mick Jagger and Keith Richards of one of the most famous of all rock bands The Rolling Stones.
Dartford’s clapboard example was of some considerable size and indeed, was protected by an ornate and large canopy stretching the whole of its length.
The ‘’DartfordLoopLine’’, as it was dubbed, followed a shorter course to the capital than its earlier counterpart, but capacity troubles were still afoot.
The incorporation of this bay line had seen the complete abolition of the wagon turntable and the relocation of the turntable to the east of the station, on the ‘’down’’ side.
