    It would take more than the rail regulator. You'd need a myriad of commendable lobbyists to achieve this as with the HS1 extension.
    I'm afraid Folkestonians are very protective of their stations- there's even a campaign to retain Folkestone Harbour Station to tie up with the new fast ferry (foot passenger service) projected to start next year. If anything goes it should be the Central-though it should be replaced by a reopened Folkestone Junction Station.

    I digress!

    The best solution for Deal/Sandwich is to reduce the station stop times-especially the Ashford one. Combine this with the common sense thinking mentioned by Peter G to give optimum results. Also the prestige that HS1 brings the area is very important if you're selling the local residential brand.
