Great video mate, i have visited Folkestone Habour recently and took a walk along this abandoned Harbour station which is now open to the public for tourist attraction, the signal box by the station is now a coffee shop, i've read in Kent local paper recently that there are talk of the North of the line to be turn into a tram line as there now a summer market, i last visited Folkestone Harbour coming on the train from Folkestone East over 20 years ago, Shame the line had to close would be good for tourist now as they visit the Harbour Arms.

Whats a Babe !

Interesting.

I watched this an recognized the Burstin Hotel,,,,an unbelievable dump. Guess it's full of vermin migrants now.

Have they built houses on it yet?

The hotel inthe background full of "immigrants"

1959 London Victoria - Folkestone - Calais - Milan, again in 1966 and 1968 . . . pleasant memories. Folkestone been a part of my story for 63 years.

This line's already in the throes of abandonment, evidently.

Crappy overcast weather makes this vid seem overexposed. And despite the F bombs a most uninspiring journey, over a boring, messy, decaying line indeed.

I was there in the far ‘84 ....the first and unique time Iv been in England ( Rome-Calais by train....the ferry..train Folkestone to London Victoria ...sweet memories)

its so sad to see that all the history have gone 😥

Silly how there are so many tracks (at least 8) at that junction yet the train to the harbour and the passenger train which zips past at the start of the video get just a single track each. Guess it would derail if it went any faster and that bridge looks like it's ready to collapse. No investment and no redundancy so one little track fault and the whole network goes down which sounds about right for British rail!

So, British trains just like their cars also run on the wrong side? Interesting.

The place looks like landfill. You pay to go on a train end up in shit hole like that! mad. You'd ask the staff "where are you taking us, chernobyl.?".

Cool

One really doesn't notice the steepness of the climb: 1:30.

I could appreciate these cabride/footplate/mitfahrt videos more if they would either start or end with a picture of the train itself so we can see what we're riding on.

Once the abandoned line gets developed into a park and cycle line, it will be great to see a comparison.

So sad.

Maybe there would of been a spur that the former Folkestone Harbour branch line would of connected onto from Folkestone Central. Very sad to see the branch line now gone and there are remains of it today.

Came from watching Geoff Marshall’s video he done yesterday about the former Folkestone Harbour branch line. So sad it’s not there anymore. Would there be a spur linking from Folkestone Central to Folkestone Harbour and to have a station between Folkestone Central and Folkestone Harbour.

Line closed now 🙁🚂🚂🚂

Plans now to reopen this line....

Is the swearing really necessary? Just use music, I muted sound.

Such a shame that the railway line got closed down.

Best f'ing commentary ever!

The third rail looks rusty..was it ever used? If the branch had been electrified much earlier than it was a couple of powerful 3rd rail electric locos might have been v successful with heavy trains and eliminated the need for all those tank engines... am I right or wrong?

Why did the VSOE keep running there after the ferry stopped?

should never have closed it

great video footage... what class is the traction pls?

Interesting start to the journey with a single line into Harbour station, two platforms, how and where did the passenger trains run too?.

Don't give Tuppence if they swear a bit - first time I've seen a video of this route which is gone now. Still got my place in Folkestone despite being 10,000 miles away now.

great video 👍shame it closed disappointed I never saw it when it was running pity heritage railway never took it over I last went down there in March and plan to go again next week to see what they have done in the last 6 months

Just wanna ask did the trains to Folkestone always go that frustratingly slow

Was there yesterday,

RIP *Folkestone Harbour*

Folkestone East looks strange.

thanks for this- is folkestone east still there?

Look at the litter everywhere! Railways are depressing places nowadays. People took a pride when I was young.

Engine drivers present themselves as some kind of elite. This clip proves otherwise.

Chavtastic.

Potty mouth train crew

Is profanity part of the job description?

Interesting to find out what this locomotive type was. Doesn't sound like a Class 67 though I could be wrong. Also looks like the line hadn't been 'singled' yet when this was taken. Where does EBB on the signal relate to?

Well the media were wrong yet again, of course many of the original features still exist, they were just covered over and somewhat abused with modern facades and tacky corporate crap. The outside and windows have been restored, the inside is ongoing. An operator of the auditorium (however the council choose to move forward with the space and blocked balcony) is some years off though.

Real shame about the foul language. Does nothing for their industry.

i went there to see supergirl as a kid when it first come out if thats the same cinema next door to dreamland
