<b>Dungeness RH&amp;DR railway station, Kent</b><br>Opened in 1928 as "Dungeness Lighthouse", this station is the southern terminus of the Romney Hythe &amp; Dymchurch Railway. The name was changed to "Dungeness" in 1947.
<p>It is not a conventional terminus as it is situated on a balloon loop - a turning loop which allows trains to return to Hythe without having to reverse direction. Hence the sharp curve to the right.

The RH&amp;DR is a 15 in (381 mm) gauge light railway. The eponymous lighthouse was built in 1904 but is no longer operational - it is open as a visitor attraction. The nuclear power station in the distance was first built in 1965, being replaced by a newer one in 1983.
