Field notes

The page combines project status, headline cost, named workstreams, photographs, and linked government evidence rather than relying on a single budget figure. Folkestone’s programme is listed at £21.99m and remains in progress, while Tsuruga’s completed project is listed at ¥3.20bn, including an 80.8-metre municipal road and a 2,300-square-metre station forecourt. The site presents these details without scores or rankings.
