• The post you are reporting:
   
  The service has settled down to some sort of regularity with the buses on the whole working reasonably well even if no two drivers can choose the same route into and out of Dover.
  
  The coastal line has always been rather tenuous and has always had issues, whether it is land slides, track slippage or the constant threat of erosion. Other parts of the route suffer not dissimilar issues particularly the section from Sandwich to Ramsgate. Back in the days of the Channel tunnel dig BR were offered free use of one of the TBMs to bore an alternate tunnel from Folkestone East to Dover but turned the offer down as they felt there was no issue - 25 years on and there most clearly is...
  
  Whilst I empathise with the good burghers of Deal they can be as up in arms as they like but it will neither fix the problem quicker or encourage/persuade Southeastern & Network Rail to seriously consider any other options.
  
  I am hoping we can get a further 10 years plus out of the line before the next major issue and its whole future is put under the microscope
