I don't know the Folkstone Branch..... but I view this just like I did Beechings axe. Whichever way, it's a Public service and is worth more than an accountants book! OK, it may be "losing now" ..but what does the future hold, especially in days of rising fuel costs?
Close it: and it may become a cycling lane (in the good weather) if you're lucky.
Or what's more likely is; an handy conduit for feral kids to misbehave, druggies to ply their trade, or theives to escape the police..........
I think that it's worth the money to keep it open as a railway.......don't you?
