The Joyce Green Hospital at Dartford, Kent had a 4 feet gauge tramway running from the bank of the Thames to the hospital buildings. The rolling stock composed of old tramcars. The railway was closed in the 1930s

This is the correct answer that I sought. The tramway had been horse-operated at times.
Please set a new one for us to solve.

At a guess, it's the same depot being repeatedly re-coded during various administrative re-organisations?

Gunnislake? Though you could argue that Paddock wood and Hawkhurst were modified by him, are still open and were served by the Cols line.

Gunnislake--is incorrect
(I will explain why after the correct answer is given)Paddock Wood was built by the South Eastern Railway but any modifications were very minor.
Hawkhurst station was closed in 1961....!

Calstock is the answer I was looking for....
The original Col. Stephens built station at Gunnislake was closed in the 1990s when the station was resited.
