During 2008, in connection with the provision of transport links to the Centre, it was announced that Warren Halt was due to re-open in February 2009.

[3] In the Autumn of 2008 the railway's General Manager confirmed in newspaper reports that construction work had begun on the installation of platform facilities.

[5] The actual re-opening ceremony took place on Monday 16 February; a special train (hauled by locomotive No 4) carried approximately 60 invited guests including local mayors, councillors, and Michael Howard (member of parliament for Shepway).

[6] Passenger services to the station began later the same week, on Thursday 19 February 2009, and have continued on selected days annually since that time, and also for pre-booked private parties.

The original station never had any buildings or surfaced platforms, and for many years there was nothing to mark the site as trains passed by at speed.
