⬆️why not?
but they have to keep stopping at stations.. there was a letter in the Folkestone Herald (not Folkestone Gerald) saying "it's not fair that the new high speed trains won't be stopping at my pissant hamlet station (I'm paraphrasing here) when it's stopping at other stations"... If it stopped at every bump in the track it wouldn't be very high speed, now would it? I'd like the train I get now to stop less places, just Folkestone Central OR Folkestone West (not both), and from there direct to London Bridge. OK, could maybe stop at Ashford, Tonbridge, or Sevenoaks too.
