High-speed rail transforms business prospects for Engine Works and supercharges regional connectivity
The new Thanet Parkway railway station has rapidly established itself as a game-changer for Westwood Industrial Estate and the wider Margate area. Opened recently, it offers high-speed train connections to London St Pancras in as little as 70 minutes, running throughout the day with direct, comfortable services operated by Southeastern. Positioned between Ramsgate and Minster, Thanet Parkway not only provides swift access to the capital but also plays a pivotal role in business connectivity, making Engine Works an ideal commercial hub. With frequent departures, spacious platforms for 12-car trains, and even free parking for early customers, the station is already boosting both local economies and property values—putting Engine Works at the heart of Thanet’s new commercial era.
