[edit] History

Although the line between Strood and Maidstone, on which New Hythe lies, was completed in 1856, no trains called there until 9 December 1929, when New Hythe Halt, a timber-built halt, was opened to serve the huge paper mill complex which had been established beside the line. The present, more substantial station was constructed in 1936, and the line was electrified in 1939.[1]

[edit] Services

All train services are provided by Southeastern, who also manage the station. The typical off-peak service from New Hythe is two trains per hour to Maidstone West, with alternate trains extended to Paddock Wood, and two trains an hour to Strood, for connections to London.
