Folkestone Central railway station, Kent
Opened in 1884 by the South Eastern Railway on its line from Tonbridge and Ashford to Dover, this station was originally called Cheriton Arch and later Radnor Park. Only in 1895 was the name Folkestone applied. The island platform to the right was abandoned in 1999.

Disused platform at Folkestone Central station
The South Eastern Main Line reached Folkestone in 1843, with a station being opened at Folkestone Junction on 18th December 1843. This station was later known as Folkestone East but it is now closed, although the platforms remain. Folkestone West was then opened in 1863, with a station named Cheriton Arch being provided between the two on 1st September 1884. The name Radnor Park was adopted instead of Cheriton Arch in 1886, and for a few years it had just two platform faces. The station was rebuilt in 1890 to add a bay. The station was renamed Folkestone Central in 1895.
The station was rebuilt at the time of the route's electrification in 1961 with two island platforms, linked by a subway and with ramps leading up from the ticket office and concourse. In 1999 one island platform was abandoned, along with the subway. The platform has not been demolished as can be seen here, although all buildings have been removed.
