Work has begun on the platfrom at Robertsbridge Junction as part of the project to link the K&ESR with the national network: http://www.rvr.org.uk/

....Completion of the railway line between Bodiam and Robertsbridge Junction Station adjacent to the mainline railway will enable visitors to use the country’s public transport system to access the Kent & East Sussex Railway and the attractions it serves....

What comes next;

• Construction of the new station at Robertsbridge, known as Robertsbridge Junction Station, which will consist of a station building historically styled with modern facilities, platform of sufficient length to handle the longest trains from the Tenterden end of the line, carriage shed, locomotive shed, signal box, water tower and water crane.
• Detailed planning permission for the Northbridge Street to Junction Road section.
• Transport and Works Act Order for the statutory powers to cross the roads and operate the railway.
• Purchase the remaining land, build three modern automated locally monitored level crossings, reinstate the embankment in parts, restore or rebuild bridges and re-lay the track.
