Ramsgate Airport railway station

Ramsgate Airport railway station is a large railway station serving the adjacent Furnival Road. It used to have 1 platform, but construction of Platforms 2 and 3 was completed on August 7th 2011. Ramsgate Airport is served by the Ramsgate to Ramsgate Airport Shuttle and the Whelham Branchline, as well as some local stopping services. The station also serves the large Ramsgate Airport.

Refurbishment (2011-2012)
The refurbishment of the station started in early August 2011, when platforms two and three were built.

In October 2011, the length of Platform 3 was reduced, Northern stating "The maximum amount of carriages the platform gets is two. It is ridiculous to have a massive platform for this.

After the 22:07hrs departure on the 10th January 2011, the small Platform 1 was closed. Northern also handed over control of the Airport Shuttle to London Midland for the 11th and morning of the 12th, while the former Ramsgate Platform 1 is re-constructed in place. However, this is only a temporary structure and is expected to be replaced with a new platform and station building, with a footbridge across the line rather than the 5 minute crossing along the road.
