Approx how much will a return ticket to London from Ashford be on the high speed kent train link?

Question

It's £40 a day return at the moment peak hours and I was just wondering if they are serious about opening up this part of England as commuter belt for London whether anyone was going to think about the daily cost of travel. The new journey time will be comparable into London with places such as Gerrards Cross in Bucks where a peak daily return is closer to £15. Obviously you're travelling much further distance at higher speeds so I'm sure it's more than this but £40 a day does make it difficult to consider as a viable option every day. Anyone know anything?

Answer 1

The current day return is nowhere near £40. In fact I think its about half that and cheaper  still after 09-30am and at weekends, Fares for the high speed link haven't been set yet, but they will be higher than standard fares
