Description
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE PROJECT
The works are located on the Hoo Peninsular. The Hoo peninsula is situated in Kent to the east of Gravesend and to the north of Chatham. As part of a Housing Infrastructure Funding Grant, Medway Council are upgrading the current freight only railway.
The existing Network Rail line through the Hoo Peninsula is called the Grain Branch line which connects the North Kent Line at Hoo Junction to the Isle of Grain. The line was closed to passenger services in 1968 and is now a freight only railway, with no stations remaining. The 19km long line is a single, bi-directional line serving freight trains that use the Isle of Grain docks (Thamesport) and Cliffe sidings. The existing line will require enhancements to enable the required passenger services to operate while maintaining freight services.
The new rail service will enable passengers to travel from a new station near Sharnal Street to the main line and on to London via connecting services to London Charing Cross, London Victoria, London Bridge, and London St Pancras International.
