RAIL LINK
It may come as a surprise to some of you, that Manston did once have a rail link when it was military airfield. It was closed in 1927, presumably traffic could not justify the cost in those times of military retrenchment.
Parts of the route can still be seen as crop marks in aerial photos, if you know where to look. I can't see that particular route being reopened for two reasons, 1) development on the route, 2) ends up on the wrong part of the airfield.
Having said that, another route might have possibilities, there used to be a rail branch passing Nash Road, Margate. I would not have thought that would be too difficult to re-open as far is I can see, others may know better. I suspect a link to the Ramsgate/Minster line would have rather too much of a gradient.
