Description
An electric passenger train operated by Southern (a subsidiary of Govia) crosses the River Medway at Haysden shortly before arriving at Tonbridge. This line, which runs from Tonbridge to Redhill, was built in 1836 by the South Eastern Railway as part of the first railway from London to Dover. A newer, more direct main line route now carries most of the rail traffic; this line is now more used as a local service with connections to Gatwick Airport.
