Return to the Folkestone Harbour Branch

Folkestone Harbour station lies at the end of the steeple graded Folkestone Harbour Branch Line which joins the South Eastern Mainline at Folkestone Junction. The branch and harbour station were used by 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) and occasional railtours until 2009. The line was officially closed on 31 May 2014. In 2016, the Folkestone Harbour Company commenced refurbishment of the viaduct and the station, retaining the remaining tracks, and repairing the canopies and the Customs House. The viaduct across the harbour was opened as a pedestrian route to the station in September 2017. It is intended that the Folkestone Harbour station will become integrated into the future wider development of the beachfront and the harbour, with restaurants, workshops, galleries and nightclubs which will be built alongside the station platforms.
