Travellers who pitched up in a public car park next to a railway station over Christmas have been evicted by bailiffs.

British Transport Police officers were at Folkestone West station this morning supporting land sheriffs and bailiffs removing a number of caravans set up in the car park.

It comes after Folkestone and Hythe District Council assured that 'appropriate action' would be taken.

More than 15 caravans have all left the railway property.
