- 3 May 2008 10:581883Interesting picture..didnt somebody say once that trains used to run along the seafront here. I think I remember it might have seen it in one of your pictures Scotchie.
Where did you take your current train picture from..have been trying to figure it out!?email: dover7@msn.com - 3 May 2008 11:361884Was from the Admiralty Lookout at the Castle.
Yes, there used to be a line right along the seafront. My pic was a very lucky catch - so no, I am not a lorry spotter !!Been nice knowing you :) - 6 May 2008 12:311916Trains did indeed used to run along the seafront from Dover Marine station to where the Eastern Docks now is.
My grandfather, who was also a driver of the Golden Arrow, used to drive them.
