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).

Famous quotes containing the word development:
“Every new development for the last three centuries has brought men closer to a state of affairs in which absolutely nothing would be recognized in the whole world as possessing a claim to obedience except the authority of the State. The majority of people in Europe obey nothing else.”
—Simone Weil (1909–1943)
“America is a country that seems forever to be toddler or teenager, at those two stages of human development characterized by conflict between autonomy and security.”
