	Bexleyheath Line - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Bexleyheath Line is last of the three rail routes created between the outskirts of London and Dartford in Kent.
		There was a line to the south (the Dartford Loop Line) but, in spite of public pressure in the 1880s, the South Eastern Railway (SER) refused to build a line to serve the area between the two lines.
		The line was electrified with the other SECR local routes to Dartford on 6th June 1926 by Southern Railway.

	Bexleyheath
		Bexleyheath is the current administrative centre for the London Borough of Bexley and the main shopping centre for the borough.
		In addition the enclosure of the heath in 1819 meant that the land could be more easily developed and slowly the town of Bexleyheath grew to prominence, overtaking Bexley in terms of population well before the end of the 19th century.
		The town was in the middle of a thriving agricultural area and had a market place that became the centre of the new development where the clock tower, built in 1912, is today.

	Welling
		The station opened with the Bexleyheath line between Perry Street Junction (Slade Green) and Blackheath on 1st May 1895.
		The Bexleyheath Line changed much under Southern Railway ownership, such alterations being direct resultants of the company's electrification of all North Kent routes on 6th June 1926.
		The station underwent major modernisation in 1931 when the main clapboard building was replaced by a single-storey red-brick structure, but unlike that at nearby Bexleyheath, the delightful timber waiting shelter on the ''down'' side was retained.

		The Bexleyheath line was built by the Bexleyheath Railway Company, it was independent from the main railway company, the South Eastern which owned the other two lines in the area.

		The line was built to conform with the South Easters standards, it was built in 1890 by William Rigby of Nottingham.

		I would like to say how pleased I am to hear the Victoria service on the Bexleyheath line may be transferred over to the Sidcup line.
		Between the hours of 7.30am and 9am there are four trains serving Lewisham station which depart from Sidcup on the Sidcup line, compared to 12 departing from Bexleyheath.
		Bexleyheath line folk should be thankful they have had the privilege of frequent trains.

	Dartford (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		Dartford is perhaps most well-known for the Dartford Crossing, the main mode of crossing the River Thames to the east of London, where the southbound A282 (part of the London Orbital) crosses the river via the Queen Elizabeth II Bridge toll bridge and the northbound carriageway crosses via the twin bore Dartford Tunnel.
		The first railway from London to reach the town was the North Kent Line via Woolwich in 1849, connecting at Gravesend with the line through the Medway Towns.
		All the lines were electrified on 6 June 1926.

	Barnehurst
		The station opened with the Bexleyheath Line on 1st May 1895, but unlike its counterparts further west along the route, the layout was not built to the standard design.
		The first significant leap forward was the inauguration of electric services on all North Kent routes from 6th June 1926, which led to a rapid increase in housing development along the three lines.
		Under British Railways, the first significant modifications were to the platforms, which received prefabricated concrete extensions at their Dartford end during June 1954, for the acceptance of ten-vehicle EPB units.

	Green Line Coach Routes 701-705
		Green Line plates are very sought after nowadays and not easy to find, and are especially interesting as there are so many variations of wording.
		The plate is late in manufacture as there are no fl lines on the top and bottom edges and the white numbers are printed proud of the green background rather than the reverse.
		The Green Line route network began to be run down in the 1970s but the 705 survived longer than some others by means of a re-routing via Heathrow Airport in 1977 and journeys to Windsor safari park on summer Sundays.

		(It's the line that marks the shorter boundary of the field of play and on which the goal is placed.) This player will 'push out' the ball to other attackers, waiting to take a shot at goal.
		If the first shot is a 'scoop' or a 'flick' - shots that are lifted into the air and thus usually a little slower than a hit - then the ball can cross the goal-line at any height, as long as it is not dangerous play.
		Once the attacker on the back-line begins to push the ball out, the defenders on the back line may move into the circle, and do their best to keep the other team from scoring.

		Now that the Dome has closed, the primary function of routes serving North Greenwich is to link into the Jubilee Line at that point, and the service through Charlton Village therefore provides a useful link to “the tube” for the residents of this area.
		Seen in Bexleyheath, outside the Police station, on 27 April 2000 is London Central PVL40 (W840 WGH), a Volvo B7TL with Plaxton President bodywork.
		It was split in January 1988 with the introduction of Bexleybus, and the 422 was introduced from Bexleyheath to Woolwich, with a couple of detours.” The original 122 bore a strong resemblance to the 422 prior to its recent extension, but was extended from Woolwich to Crystal Palace as part of the tram replacement programme.

		Although the Inspection week was in September, the facts and figures which underpin the inspection report, and which are reported here, are those from the last school year, which finished in July 2003.
		With a large school, such as Bexleyheath, there is always a constant turnover of staff as teachers leave to take up promotion elsewhere.

		His mother is English, descended from a long line of sailors in the Royal and merchant navies, and his father is Indian, but born in East Africa.
		He is therefore well placed to represent Bexleyheath and Crayford as a south Londoner ‘born-and-bred’, but with a heritage and experience that is national and international.
		Dave joined the Liberal Democrats in 1997 for two reasons: (1) because he agreed with their policies and (2) because he admired the honest and independent way in which Liberal Democrats put forward their views, without spin and without corporate or trades union influence.

		Britain's got itself all a-twitter over Saturday's revelation that Melita Norwood, the little old lady from Bexleyheath, was a KGB operative for four decades.
		In my favorite story of the bunch, Times writer Tim Reid spent the day at Norwood's Bexleyheath cottage chatting her up while lounging around her kitchen and monitoring the various incensed government officials' various incensed proclamations on the radio.
		But setting aside the little issue of Norwood betraying her country, the bigger question -- in light of recent events from Waco to Bexleyheath and beyond -- is why these terrifically somber, well-funded secret police organizations -- British, American or whatever -- keep blowing it so badly.
