Notes :
 (1) Alan Sheppard comments : Timing sheet has trains 1 & 3 doing platform 1 both ways at Folkestone Harbour and trains 2 & 4 doing platform 2. The train I took (Train 1 on the Sunday) did platform 1 on the way to the Harbour and platform 2 on the return. I have no knowledge of whether any other trains did all platforms, or just the ones booked but ticket letter did state 'visiting all platforms at Folkestone Harbour', so presumably timing sheet was wrong!!
(3) Confirmation of route & traction required (assumed same as used on the Sunday).
