The Mid-Kent line^[1] (also referred to as the Hayes line by train operators,^[2] official bodies^[3] and the general public^[4]) is a British railway line running from Courthill Loop North junction^[5] (just south of Lewisham station) to Hayes railway station in the London Borough of Bromley. Despite its name, none of the line is in the present-day county of Kent.
