Swale railway station

Swale railway station is in north Kent, England, on the Sheerness Line north of Sittingbourne at the southern end of the Kingsferry Bridge which connects the Isle of Sheppey to mainland Kent. The nearest settlement is Iwade. Train services are provided by Southeastern.
== History ==
The station was opened in 1913 as a staff halt, called Kings Ferry Bridge Halt.〔 On 17 December 1922, the Norwegian cargo ship collided with the Kingsferry Bridge, rendering it unfit for rail traffic, and the station was renamed Kings Ferry Bridge South Halt, and opened to the public, who were able to walk across the bridge to a temporary station at to continue their journeys.
This arrangement continued until 1 November 1923, when the bridge reopened to traffic and the North halt closed. The station was renamed Kings Ferry Bridge Halt on this date. The name was changed to Swale Halt in 1929. With the building of the new Kingsferry Bridge in 1960, a new station was constructed, opening on 20 April 1960.〔Kidner, p. 56.〕 The station is the nearest to Ridham Dock and was built by British Railways.
In 2005 the idea of closing Swale station, or at least replacing its train service with a token service (e.g. one train a week in either direction), was proposed by the Strategic Rail Authority (SRA) but rejected.
