Compared with Image, it appears that a trench has been dug in the former trackbed, while plastic sheeting has been erected over the scaffolding on the right hand platform. The refurbishment is being carried out by W W Martin, who issued a notice on 20 May 2016 that read: Our Special Projects Team have commenced the ‘Link Works - Phase A’ project together with our sister company WWM Civils for our client Folkestone Harbour (GP) Ltd. The works include refurbishments and alterations to afford public access to the former station and platform areas including the level crossing on South Quay, Signal Box, Harbour Masters House, Platforms 1, 2 and 3 and the Upper Harbour Arm http://www.wwmartin.co.uk/news
