Can you show a photo you’ve taken from the blocked spot, so we know what’s gone?

I have some shots from there before fencing:

Presumably somebody had been giving cause for concern, shame but it only take one idiot to spoil it for everybody who could behave themselves. The picture from the new position though indicates some decent shots are still available, if a little more awkward.

That's a bummer! I recall being sat on the embankment eating dinner watching the eurostars and javelins whizzing past. It was lovely. Boo to whoever did something that caused this to happen.

Welp, that's a shame.
I was planning to visit with a friend who lives nearby but it seems I might go to a spot down the line.

I found a nice spot nearby at the farm here: https://goo.gl/maps/g7AbG2N3v8V8ghx6A
It's about a 40 minute or 1.5 mile walk from Cuxton station.

mmm fair, though it seems the lineside is a bit away. Any pictures or videos would be nice!

My biggest worry now is them fencing off the lineside spot on Boxley tunnel. I have a feeling that because the fence is very close to the line they might do that as well.
To give an idea here's a video nearby:

Update: Wednesday 31st May
I was down in Folkestone on Monday going via HS1 to Ashford which I forgot to mention. your new spot you mentioned @Cloudrak looks good but I feel could have its disadvantages. I couldn't tell really though as I was on the other side of the train and it was short formed packed coming back. Can also confirm that the fencing for most of it has not changed for the rest of the route. This is leading me to believe it was just here and nowhere else really. But who knows.
