Topic: 1896 Light Railways Act


  
  East Kent Railway - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
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.
