I thought this high speed link to Folkestone was already confirmed? A chum in the world of news just sent this:
The SRA announced that the following stations will be served by high-speed CTRL domestic services: Ramsgate, Minster, Sturry, Canterbury West, Wye, Folkestone Central, Folkestone West, Sandling, Ashford International, Broadstairs, Margate, Birchington on Sea, Herne Bay, Whitstable, Faversham, Sittingbourne, Rainham, Gillingham, Chatham, Rochester, Strood, Higham, Gravesend, Ebbsfleet, Stratford International, Kings Cross St Pancras, and Dover Priory (provisional).
More here... main announcement today was that the four preferred bidders can now submit detailed bids, or something. Man these documents are boring... Still it's nice to read that Transport Secretary, Alistair Darling, said:
The CTRL domestic services will operate on both domestic railway tracks and the new high speed channel tunnel rail link track where they will reach speeds of 140 mph. Journeys from Ashford to central London will be reduced by 40 minutes each way.

Tim Fitzhigham's crossing of the Channel in a bathtub (to Folkestone, of course) is features on Paramount Comedy here, but double Olympic champion James Cracknell is aiming to be the fastest man to paddle across the Channel, on a surfboard.
He's going to raise £60k for charity when he leaves the beach at Folkestone on the 5th of September. [[More from the BBC.

it's the tunnel between Higham and Strood on the North Kent line out to Gillingham that's shut for a year - shouldn't affect anything towards Folkestone.
The franchise for Kent trains is up in the air after Connex was sacked - while South Eastern Trains doesn't seem to be doing too bad a job, having a state-run train firm isn't good enough for Labour and the whole thing will be put out to tender again....
