Orpington Station c 1917. (XTD @ 13m 65ch) (Ref:030306)
It would appear that hospital train carrying wounded from the Front is expected with the stretchers lined up ready to receive the patients. Orpington and District Railway Ambulance Corps, comprising 50 men, was formed in 1915. Their duties included unloading the hospital trains and transferring the wounded to ambulances. When a hospital train left Dover, the corps was advised by telephone, and met the train. A hospital train contained from 120 to 160 cot cases, and all these would be cleared within 45 minutes. The corps held the record for speed of working on the entire SE&CR. (http://bygonekent.org.uk/).
