  A few of these must be set for closure in the future.

  Network Rail own most of the stations so have to maintain them, do they pay business rates?
  
  I would like to learn how they know the number of that people use the stations as most of the quieter ones are unmanned.

  There's stations around the country with 1 service a day, 1 a week or none at all that aren't closed. None of the Kent ones wil close.

  As usual, they've made a blooper with the caption to the picture! It shows a Javelin which certainly would not be going to Swale.
