Ash Town railway station was a railway station on the East Kent Light Railway. The station served the village of Ash, Kent, England. [2]
Opened by the East Kent Light Railway on 16 October 1916, it attracted fleeting interest from the Southern Railway. However this faded and the railway stayed independent until being absorbed into the Southern Region of British Railways on nationalisation in 1948. It closed to passenger traffic after the last train on 30 October that year. The track was removed in May 1954. Today there is no trace of the station or the railway as the site is now landscaped into a field.
