English: The site of High Halstow Halt The site of High Halstow Halt
Situated on Wybournes Lane, a quiet no through road leading only to Wybournes Farm, this level crossing sees very few trains. Passenger trains ran on this line from 1882 to 1961, which seems surprising now as it doesn't really serve any significant centres of population. It is still in use by regular container trains on their way via Hoo Junction to and from Thamesport on the Isle of Grain.
Just to the right of the level crossing was the site of High Halstow Halt. This was opened by the South Eastern & Chatham Railway in July 1906 and closed on 4th December 1961 - the day that all passenger services ceased on the line.
