    Made my High Speed Train debut up to the Smoke on Monday. It really is sensational, as is St Pancras International. Never want to travel to London on an old-style train again.

    Does eveyone really appreciate how good this could be for the local economy? Or are we yet again in a dithery rabbit-in-the-headlights situation?

    The capital city is now properly connected with Dover in a 21st century sense. But is Dover ready for it?

    As for the Deal HST connection, well, Monday's 6.42 came in empty from Ramsgate and arrived at Dover Priory around 6.32, meaning it would have had plenty of time to stop at Deal for a couple of minutes.

    If only the HST stopped at Deal at peak times, that would be a real boost for starters. Seems pointless the train trundling through from Ramsgate without stopping at Deal (I'm not suggesting it should stop at Sandwich, Walmer or Martin Mill, by the way).
