"When the rest of the track is finished in 2007 it will be possible to commute from St Pancras to Folkestone in 35 minutes"

That sounds a bit quicker than I'd heard before, but so says propertyinvesting.net... it also adds:

Folkestone is a nice town generally – no really bad areas. Down by the harbour it’s got "further to go" than other parts of the town. Much of Folkestone is large elegant Victoriana – three story terraces many in leafy avenues. Any property with sea-views will command a premium in future years... Close to the town centre is a plus if you rent your property. There is no University*, but there is a town centre International Language College that needs student accommodation. Price are rising fast – from last October, so get in quick before it's too late!

What a nice report!

*and surely there will be a uni of some description soon enough!
