You'll lose about 3 inches.

did you look at pictures?
i guess if i dont go with a brand new fence , then i need to construct something at the bottom of my garden , on my land?

It only needs a new panel and yours is secure.

two new panels, my issue with doing that in any case , is that i then own the fence , and then all sorts of grey areas start appearing when other areas of the fence start degrading , as they will , its not in good nick

I think you are too hung up on ownership of the fence, what's more important to you security or who owns it?

Backing onto a railway line and being open like that is an open invitation to a burglar.

I understand that , my issue is , what do i commit to , if i commit to two new panels at the bottom , i commit to probably/potentially and going by neighbours recent history , defintely ending up sorting each bit of the fence out as it fails OR i commit £££££££ to a whole new boundary , which whilst i`m at it , gifts my nieghbour 3 inches (or more) of my land the minute they take their fence down , which they surley will if i install a beautiful brand new bad boy!

Two new panels and a letter to the neighbours saying that you have paid for the panels to secure your garden but are not making any claim to the boundary - the fence (including the two new panels) is still fully in their ownership.

I would agree with this. Is it a case of new panels put in their concrete posts or would you need to install just enough fence of your own on that corner to cover the gap into your garden but not theirs?
