Bullet train does London to Ashford in 32 minutes

rail news has the details, that's nice, but when you think about it that's not really all that impressive - the current trains could do it in not much more than that if they didn't stop at all the stations in between. Still, looking forward to it, ho...

Ooh lightning strike!

No trains from Folkestone for the forseeable, because of a lighting strike over night, we do get all the action here don't we. They can't put on any replacement busses until after the school run as they're all in use. I'm getting a lift in today so I...

Hotspots created as Londoners flood in

Ashford is one of the most preferred new locations for buying in the UK - but other towns such as Ramsgate, Folkestone and Canterbury are all set to benefit from the influx of affluent newcomers. Ha, Ashford is only preferred by those who've not actu...

Yep I heard from some other people here who live in Ashford
