| Although it offers no shelter the Riverside
Station is a substantial brick and wood affair with full disabled
access. |
On leaving the station the line passes over
a trailing connection iwth the disused avoiding line. |
This is followed by a long straight section
parallel with the River Medway. |
 |
 |
 |
| Turning inland the line then follows the
perimeter of one of the Children's playgrounds. |
Next and for a short section the railway
curves between tall hedges....... |
.....before suddenly crossing the Strand
footpath adjacent to the site of the 1948 original station. |
 |
 |
 |
| The stock shed which serves as
a tunnel when the railway is running. The large steel door supplements a full
length shutter designed to provide as much protection as possible against
vandalism. |
Another view of the stock shed
- the decoration resulted from a one time incarnation as a Wild West themed
railway! |
Hidden under the leaves is a
point leading to a second siding within the shed. |
 |
 |
 |
| The pointwork after the siding
was relaid - this time using curves instead of straights! |
After passing through the shed
the line continues to follow the pathway until it cuts across at the entrance
to the Par 3 Golf Course. |
After negotiating the crossing
the locked facing points lead either to the unused avoiding loop or owards
towards the station. |
 |
|
|
| The line then continues to
curve over the disused loop points before crossing the pathway diagonally and
heading back into the station. |
