Kent Coast

This documentary showcases the railway history of Ramsgate, which has been significant since 1846. It highlights the competition between two railway companies that served the town for over fifty years, culminating in the Southern Railway's construction of a connecting line.

Filmed before the launch of SouthEastern's high-speed Javelin services, Kent Coast captures a driver's eye view of the journey into London Victoria. The film features a 4 coach class 375 Electrostar and illustrates the train's route from Chatham, passing through key stations such as Sittingbourne and the Medway Towns.

With its focus on railway operations and history, this documentary is a niche offering for collectors of transport media. Produced by Video 125, it emphasizes the significance of rail travel in connecting communities along the Kent coast.
