You can get a train non stop from London St Pancras to the South of France now... Amazing. Though it does take six and a half hours.
If you could do it direct from Ashford that would be more amazing, but I think they've canned all those now.
There will be direct services to Amsterdam next year too, though we are far to responsible and old and tired to do young persons nights out like you get in Amsterdam these days.
