Further Development
After the formation of the SE&CR, three minor lines were built before the SE&CR became one of the constituent parts of the Southern Railway in 1923. They were:
- Tattenham Corner Line - Kingswood to Tattenham Corner, in 1901.
- The Sheppey Light Railway - branch off the Sheerness Line, in 1901 (closed 1950).
- Bexhill branch off the Hastings Line - Crowhurst and Bexhill West, in 1902 (now closed).
