With the closure of the railways Folkstone Harbour Branch this was the very last train to traverse its lines before its all torn up.The locomotive to perform this duty was BR Class 7P Britannia 70013 (Oliver Cromwell) on the 14th March 2009 -not forgetting the Class 47 at the rear (very steep climb up)

What's the reason for the closure? Are they not running ferries from Folkestone any more?

Simply superb! ....History in the making too.

This takes the prize for the best video I have watched on youtube. Well done!

Very nice, I am sorry to see the end of this line, we always used to holiday at Folkestone and the workings on the branch with the R1's and the pannier banking engines were absolutely fascinating for me. I wonder how the people living along the line view its demise??
