    you all forget that the only reason Dover got these trains (and therefore the only way Deal and Sandwich was able to get them) was through the effective lobbying of Coller, Prosser and Watkins.

    Even then Southeastern had to obtain special dispensation from the rail regulator to run these trains through the Shakespeare Cliff Tunnel as they have no front and rear exit like the old mainline trains do and the tunnels have insufficient room to exit safely by the normal doors.

    This wouldnt have happen if the aforementioned gentlemen had not argued such an effective case.

    So whilst hats off to the guys who convinced southeastern to add Deal and Sandwich to the HST roster - the real thank you must still go to Prosser, Coller and Watkins.
