I'm talking the best scenic route really. I've heard the Eynsford area has some nice scenery...any suggestions?

They lied
Tonbridge - Hastings , Swanley - Sevenoaks ......all very pleasant.
Not the North Kent line though.....
Folkestone - Dover by the rail replacement bus is an interesting trip, the climb out of Folkestone gives good views.
The walk from Deal to Dover is a good stroll if active enough, excellent views over the port of Dover and of course the castle.
Sticking on the train Tonbridge to Hastings as suggested is possibly the best route.
Swanley - Sevenoaks

Really isn't great. I do that run many many times a week and it's got an awful view. Even from my seat.
But a massive contrast to Saff East London - the slowly (actually quickly gentrifying areas of Crofton Park and Catford) - used to be a traffic desert - not now one gathers. ......
The SE mainline is very bucolic between Tonbridge and Ashford. You can sample it at leisure as well as there's no chance of getting an express train on it anymore.
It's worth continuing to Canterbury West as well, the countryside's quite nice. I personally like the line between Faversham and Canterbury East too.
