Up until about 2003 i used to regularly get the train from Folkestone to London. The old slam door EMUs were miserable - filthy and terribly drafty in winter. Moved to Australia permanently in 2006 but still have our flat on the Leas in Folkestone.
excellent video of now and then 👍it's ashame Dover town yard closed when the channel tunnel opened you saw more different class of loco's than you do now that footbridge would have been a great vantage point to film them what a waste now the yard is full of lorries that clog our roads it should never have closed 😡
Great video Ant. Very upsetting to see what their once was there. It was a small confined yard but busy yard at Dover I remember and your pictures capture that well. I suppose Dollands Moor has made up for it but just wish more freight would use the CT
A lot of freight carried by the train ferry was lost because the CT banned hazardous loads going through it. I am sure there is still a lot of potential for more freight to go via Dollands Moor though.

Glad you enjoyed it. It is a shame Dover Town Yard closed but I am glad I got to see it when was still a busy and interesting place to visit.
