Beggars belief that the only train after 6pm back from Paris to Ashford gets in 4mins after the connecting train to Lewes leaves. Surely Southern or Eurostar are having a laugh. So it makes it quicker to go to London and back down. Norman Baker sort it out!
No wonder people fly and drive when we have bell ends planning timetables. And its not only the trains after 6pm its also the early ones try getting the 6.57 from Ashford to Paris the train from Lewes, you guest it gets there 4 mins after it leaves!

Maybe it's a stupid question - but have you asked southern about a poss timetable change ?

Pretty typical imo.
When I try and travel by public transport, 50% of the time it ends up unfeasible because the connections don't connect at the time I want to go.

We have always had the same problem and wonder why they put the service on from Lewes when they dont get you there for any of the Paris trains.

I asked the guard on the train and he shrugged his shoulders and just sighed.
I will email Southern and ask them about it.
When I spoke to the man who runs the cafe bar at Ashford Station and he said business was really slow because of it and they had cut the brussels trains as well.
