Shepherdswell railway station was the southern terminus of the East Kent Light Railway. It opened on 16 October 1916 and closed to passenger traffic after the last train on 30 October 1948. The normal practice was to run coaches into the station under gravity. Shepherdswell was the location of the engine shed and works, and a large number of sidings. It served the village of Shepherdswell or Sibertswold.
The station reopened as part of the East Kent Railway in 1993. It is about 200 metres from the mainline station Shepherds Well, which is spelt as two words.
