Hawkesbury Street Jn was where the line headed towards Dover Marine (Dover Western Docks) station. However, after Hawkesbury Street Jn, there was a yard/siding area where shunting engines (Class 08/09) used to operate in order to shunt freight wagons on/off the train ferries to Europe (Boulogne/Calais/Dukirk/Ostend). This did NOT run through the Marine Station, and therefore, is correctly shown separately on the map (well it did, till someone changed it). I am saying this as someone who grew up in Canterbury, and who's daddy worked on the ferry's. I can picture Dover Marine in my head like it was yesterday. Sheepcot 23:18, 28 March 2007 (UTC)
I've put a B5 version of the diagram on this page. It needs further work, particularly the SECR loop (the connections and relative position of the "new" Ramsgate station need confirming) but I feel that moving it here will encourage others to improve it. Britmax 21:32, 23 September 2007 (UTC)
There is a move discussion in progress on Talk:South Western Main Line which affects this page. Please participate on that page and not in this talk page section. Thank you. — RMCD bot 01:29, 18 July 2017 (UTC)
