I wasn't suggesting lots of local stations. But probably, like HS1 at Ashford and Ebsfleet a couple of hubs.

Actually, from reports I've read, they DO get in the way - 'normal' trains have been affected, with stops being dropped from schedules, and longer journey times for those passengers not living in the right places. Regular passengers see themselves as having been left with a sub-standard service to allow those who can afford it to be whisked from A to B at high speed. Again, as someone else has pointed out, the high speed services benefit those with deep pockets at the expense of the average passenger. So what's new....
