Folkestone Harbour Station
Folkestone Harbour station was a railway station built to serve the port of Folkestone, one of three stations in the town. It was at the end of the short Folkestone Harbour Branch Line, joining the South Eastern Main Line at Folkestone Junction. The branch and harbour station provided a rail connection for boat trains from London which connected with the ferry services to Calais and Boulogne, The branch and station closed to regular passenger train services in 2001 although the line and station continued to be used by the Venice-Simplon Orient Express (VSOE) until 2009. The line was officially closed on 31 May 2014. It has now been beautifully restored and forms a walkway to the harbour arm.
