Ramsgate railway station

Under Construction

Ramsgate railway station is a large, four platform railway station in Ramsgate.

2012 refurbishment
The station is undergoing a extensive refurbishment currently, and is expected to through-out the year, following the ongoing 2011-2012 refurbishment of Ramsgate Airport railway station.

On January 10 2012, Platforms 0 and 1 were taken up. A new station building and new platform for platform 1 is then under construction. The Whelham branch was reduced to 2tph per direction (with no stop at Ramsate), whilst London Midland took over the Airport shuttles. The new station building is expected to be opened along with the platform on the 12th January at 19:00hrs. The platform will be christened by 170504 (which is to be named), and 66722, before a normal service resumes from the 19:28 departure from Ramsgate Airport.

Also on January 10, the footbridge was completely closed, and dismantled on the 11th. The footbridge is expected to be replaced by a bigger, closed footbridge. This will mark the end for the old and poor conditioned station building for Platforms 3 & 4 when erected, as there is currently no link.

Services
The station is very busy with services, with a frequent Whelham branchline service
