On 6th February 1846, the South Eastern Railway began services from Ashford to Canterbury West and two months later in April 1846 services were extended though here to Ramsgate. Electric services started on 9th October 1961 and in December 2009, the line became part of the Southeastern High Speed service to London St Pancras. This view is from a foot crossing between Broad Oak Road and Headcorn Drive near Folly Farm. The next station in this direction is Sturry, although the High Speed trains do not stop there.
