Hi Andrew - I have used HS1 a few times and I can't help but think its been a huge own goal for Dover. Rather than have a transport system for the district you had a train service that stopped at Dover Priory (which can be quite an intimidating station) and then if you wanted to travel to Deal or Sandwich you would have to wait at least 20 mins (I have waited an hour previously) for a connecting service. This really gave the campaigners in Deal a very valid argument and resolve which ultimately was heard by the powers that be, even the train operator seems more focused on Deal now.
I personally think the money Dover and Network Rail plan to spend on a multi-storey car park at Dover Priory which probably isn't needed now would be better spent improving the incredibly slow track between Folkestone and Dover to achieve a service under 1 hour.
