    I agree with Ed leasing it for 30 years for £2.1bn seems a pretty reasonable deal.

    As I said in my previous post the major constraint on reducing journey times between Dover & Ashford is that the line needs upgrading, none of the points between these two stations is rated above 60 mph and the section between Dover and Folkestone has the tightest radius curve on the UK rail network (By the old Town & Habour stations). The other issue is the number of stops between here and Ashford, cutting out one of the Folkestone stops would reduce the journey time by approx 4 minutes.
