Lullingstone station was built (but not opened) before WW2. During teh War
a dummy airfield was built near to it. After the War Green Belt legislation
meant that the housing the station was meant to serve never happened, so
the station never opened and was eventually demolished. I think the
platform canopies went to Canterbury East. However, Bill Hayles, formerly
of this parish, did manage to acquire a Lullingstone platform ticket.

Some of the platform and supports are still visible between Eynsford tunnel
and the Darenth viaduct.
