This video "HS1 Extension Projects, Eastbourne Via Hastings & Thanet Parkway? Yes? Or No?" was created by myself Daniel James Smith via my Samsung Galaxy S24 on Monday 31st March 2025 as part of speculation & suggestion for a new idea for a potential & future extension idea for Highspeed 1 & both ‪Southeastern Railway & Southern Railway to operate alongside each other with Southern still operating a separate track & route from Ashford International Station to Hastings via Rye, Appledore, Three Oaks, Winchelsea, Hamstreet, Doleham and Ore and Hastings. With alongside it HS1 extension running & operating Southeastern Highspeed trains directly to Hastings and using two platforms at Hastings Railway Station or even for now end of line bay platform until extended to Eastbourne? Another idea aswell is to link Hastings & Eastbourne with Thanet Parkway via HS1 extension from Ashford International and between both Ashford, Hastings and Channel Tunnel, create a diamond junction which could offer multiple services with multiple routes? Linking still Eurostar to Channel Tunnel? Hastings to Thanet Parkway and Ashford to Thanet Parkway & both Hastings if this were all happen? I think this would be an epic project for Kent & would link Hastings & in future Eastbourne directly with London & Kent via quicker service times. Even offer competition via both Gatwick Airport, maybe Lydd airport and Manston Airport if constructed? But let me know in comment section if you would like any of this to happen? Or not? Would you use any of it if so? What would you pay & can you actually also see this happening, love to hear your feedback. Cheers for reading & hope to create and upload more videos & shorts soon. :)
