I travelled on HS1 on Friday and it’s kinda jokes. It’s expensive, only part of the line is high speed and it’s not that fast.
It's not long enough (between St Pancras and Ashford) to be worthwhile for that journey, it's real value is for the Eurostar. Previously it used to be stuck along the 2 track line through Maidstone and would then go fast from Ashford.
