Prince of Wales Halt railway station
Prince of Wales Halt railway station was a short-lived station on the Romney, Hythe and Dymchurch Railway in Kent, England.
About three quarters of a mile from the Hythe terminus, in an area known as Palmarsh, the railway line and the Royal Military Canal (previously running side by side) finally diverge, and the railway line passes under a large, double-arched, bridge carrying the road from Hythe to Lympne.〔World's Smallest Public Railway by P. Ransome-Wallis, published by Ian Allan (Shepperton/London), 1970, SBN 7110 0156 1, page 7.〕
This bridge, and the halt located here, took their names from the nearby Prince of Wales public house.〔(Webpage ) detailing public house, with map showing the location immediately adjacent to the railway bridge.〕 The halt never had any station buildings, and was simply a request stop for service trains, accessed by means of a steep footpath down from the road to the trackside, beside the bridge.
The halt opened with the opening of the line in 1927, appearing in the timetables for the first year of operation only, before closing in 1928〔Historical Guide to the Romney, Hythe, & Dymchurch Railway, by C.S.Wolfe, published by the RH&DR Association (New Romney), 1976, page 50 (station chronologies).〕 due to lack of traffic. Contemporary traffic figures, although sparse, could imply that no passenger ever used this tiny station.〔One Man's Railway, by J.B.Snell, third edition, published 1993 by David St John Thomas (Nairn, Scotland), ISBN 0-946537-80-1, page 47, column 2.〕 Its only historical distinctions are that it was, by a wide margin, the most short-lived, the most sparsely equipped, and the most under-used station on the line.
