Sandwich Road station (TR 317 585 ) was a station on the East Kent Light Railway. It opened in November 1925 and closed to passenger traffic on October 31 1928. There were plans to extend to Richboro Port but permission to run passenger services north of Sandwich Road was not granted by His Majesty's Railway Inspectorate due to the poor state of repair of the bridge over the Southern Railway and River Stour. The platform was north of the road and a passing loop was south of the road. The station closed to freight on December 31 1949.[1]
