Plans to close Folkestone Harbour branch line [ITV News]





Date: 21/11/2013

Network Rail has announced that it proposes to close the Folkestone Harbour branch line and Folkestone Harbour station. The line hasn't been used by passenger services as part of the national rail network since 2001 and only chartered services have operated in recent years. An assessment by Network Rail concluded it would not be financially appropriate or responsible to continue to maintain it. The recommendation covers the railway line between Folkestone East Junction and Folkestone Harbour and Folkestone Harbour station and that they close at the earliest opportunity.
