Well done Richard. I've been trying hard to explain to the DfT the reasons to re-establish the Marine train station.
If there were an oil crisis, Dover Port could find itself closed down for a while, or if oil went up permanently in price in the future, it could divert traffic to other ports. In particular freight traffic, as rail would become the obvious alternative.
Let's hope Gov. accepts also this part of my representation.
To place all the future strategy on sole road traffic for transport of freight through the Port of Dover, as DHB and DPPT have done, is not a forward-looking strategy.
