Thanks @robsilsbury for the tip, still says under an hour from Folkestone to London!
Read about it here on www.southeasternrailway.co.uk.
See the actual high speed draft timetable, including high speed rail link between Folkestone and London Kings Cross St Pancras - looks like 57 minutes from Folkestone Central if you catch the direct train or 56 minutes with a change if I'm reading this right. Not much good with timetables.
The timetable does include services direct from Folkestone West and Dover to London Kings Cross too. Another service runs from Canterbury West to London Kings Cross St Pancras in one hour too.
Sounds good, it's only the draft though, I expect these times will be lengthened to fit in potential delays...

This info from this week's KM Extra free sheet, but has been made public by Southeastern Trains. I did wonder just how fast the high speed service could be if it stopped at all the little stations along the way.
No mention of the services from Central, but apparently Folkestone West will only get one high speed service an hour.
Have you noticed they're doing up Folkestone West? Station buildings on both sides of the track are being renovated. It makes sense to me if West became the main station, as there's room around it to expand and use for parking, Folkestone Central seems a bit penned in.
All good news for Folkestone anyway (though less so for Hythe).
