Greatstone is served by the Romney, Hythe and Dymchurch (RH&D) Railway with a station at Romney Sands at the Romney Sands holiday park.

The RH&D Railway opened to traffic in 1927 as a 15" gauge (third scale) fully working steam railway covering the eight miles from New Romney to Hythe.

In 1928 the railway was extended southwards from New Romney through Greatstone to Dungeness, but reduced to a single track in 1947.

The railway now covers a distance of 13.5 miles from Hythe to Dungeness.

In 1928, in addition to the Romney Sands station, there was a Greatstone Dunes station which was located near to Dunes Road in Greatstone but this closed in 1964. (see Railway Stations at Greatstone for more information).

The station is just inside the main entrance to the Romney Sands holiday park, which is located in The Parade, Greatstone. (see Greatstone Map).
