Prosperity arrived in the 19th century with the railway from [[London]], which turned the town into a major cross-[[English Channel|Channel]] port and established it as a destination for day-trippers with all the traditional English hoopla associated with “a day at the seaside”. Today, Folkestone is joined to the capital by the M20 Motorway and, since 1994, is the English end of the [[Channel Tunnel]].
