South Eastern have bitten the bullet and are expanding the HS service.
There are extra peak trips and limited services beyond Ashford
commence on 7th September 2009. There's also one off peak return to
Ashford which doesn't look terribly useful. No weekend services :-(

I wonder if when they do introduce the weekend service they ought to drop
the premium fare for a while to encourage the locals to try it!

The problem is there are too many engineering works on at the weekends to
enable a robust service to be put into place

I seem to recall that some of this engineering is in fact provision
for the HS service eg making it possible to evacuate in tunnels etc.
