This was to be routed via the town of <a href="/wiki/Sidcup" title="Sidcup">Sidcup</a>. </p><p>The Dartford Loop Line opened on 1 September 1866. A loop line in railway terminology is a line which leaves the main line at one location, and then rejoins in another place. The line initially had only five new stations: <a href="/wiki/Lee_railway_station" title="Lee railway station">Lee</a>, <a href="/wiki/Mottingham_railway_station" title="Mottingham railway station">Eltham</a> (now Mottingham), <a href="/wiki/Sidcup_railway_station" title="Sidcup railway station">Sidcup</a>, <a href="/wiki/Bexley_railway_station" title="Bexley railway station">Bexley</a> and <a href="/wiki/Crayford_railway_station" title="Crayford railway station">Crayford</a>. The station at <a href="/wiki/Hither_Green_railway_station" title="Hither Green railway station">Hither Green</a>, near <a href="/wiki/Lewisham" title="Lewisham">Lewisham</a>, where the line deviates from the main line, was built after the opening of the third North Kent route, the <a href="/wiki/Bexleyheath_Line" class="mw-redirect" title="Bexleyheath Line">Bexleyheath Line</a> in 1895. </p><p>Pope Street, now <a href="/wiki/New_Eltham_railway_station" title="New Eltham railway station">New Eltham</a> station, opened in 1878 between Eltham and Sidcup stations. Hither Green finally opened in 1895 serving both the Dartford Loop Line and the main line via <a href="/wiki/Tonbridge_railway_station" title="Tonbridge railway station">Tonbridge</a>. The final station to open was <a href="/wiki/Albany_Park_railway_station" title="Albany Park railway station">Albany Park</a> in 1935. The Loop Line originally passed through mainly open country and farm land but it stimulated development around the new stations. </p><p>In 1899 the Lee Spur, a double track link between the up line of the Dartford Loop Line and the <a href="/wiki/Hither_Green_marshalling_yard" title="Hither Green marshalling yard">Hither Green marshalling yard</a>, was built. The spur is occasionally used by freight and engineering <a href="/wiki/Work_train" title="Work train">work trains</a>. </p><p>The Loop Line was electrified by the <a href="/wiki/Southern_Railway_(UK)" title="Southern Railway (UK)">Southern Railway</a> in 1926 along with the two other lines to Dartford. </p><p>In 1942 a double-track loop (the ‘Dartford Loop’) came into operation between the North Kent and Dartford Loop Lines, creating a triangular junction. This allowed direct running between the two routes, avoiding the need for a reversing manoeuvre at Dartford. </p><p>In 1955 the platforms on all Loop Line stations were extended to accommodate ten-coach trains, whilst continuing standard operation of eight-car trains. Most stations had goods yards which closed during the 1960s and were converted into car parks. </p><p>In the late 1960s the Dartford Loop Line along with the two other North Kent routes were re-signalled which saw the replacement of semaphores with colour light signals. In November 1970 most of the mechanical signal boxes on the line closed. In the mid-late 2000s the Dartford Area Resignalling Scheme saw the line resignalled.<sup id="cite_ref-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-1"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>1<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup class="noprint Inline-Template" style="white-space:nowrap;">[<i><a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Citing_sources" title="Wikipedia:Citing sources"><span title="This citation requires a reference to the specific page or range of pages in which the material appears.
