==Transport== The rail connections are via the [[Chatham Main Line]] through Margate to Ramsgate, and the [[Ashford to Ramsgate (via Canterbury West) Line]]. A high-speed rail link from London to Thanet began in December 2009, and forms part of the UK's first true high-speed commuter service, according to the South Eastern Railway Company.<ref>[http://southeastern2009.co.uk Southeastern 2009 - your journey starts here : Home<!-- Bot generated title -->]</ref> The [[Thanet Loop]] bus service connects Margate, Ramsgate, and Broadstairs. Main road links are the [[A28 road|A28]], which brings traffic from Canterbury and Ashford; and the [[A299 road|A299]], north coast route. The Thanet Coastal Path skirts the coast. There is an airport at [[Manston, Kent|Manston]],<ref>{{usurped|1=[https://web.archive.org/web/20060218132146/http://www.kentinternationalairport-manston.com/ Kent International Airport]}}</ref> formerly [[RAF Manston]], but since renamed by its commercial operators as [[Manston Airport]]. The airport is no longer in operation. Ferry services (predominantly freight and car with passengers) were operated by [[Transeuropa Ferries]] to [[Continental Europe]] from the [[Port of Ramsgate]] but ceased in 2013.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.transeuropaferries.co.uk/ |title=TransEuropa Ferries |access-date=2007-06-29}}</ref> A tramway was once operated by the [[Isle of Thanet Electric Tramways and Lighting Company]] from Westbrook to Ramsgate from 1901 to 1937. The tramway had a narrow gauge of {{RailGauge|3ft 6in}}.
