Do fares for these services carry a premium?


Yes.


Ashford to London single £26.60 on HS1 (£17.50 regular).

Wrong James.


You have compared the Anytime single fare with supplement to the
Offpeak single without.


OK, oops. But there's still a premium, even if I overstated its amount.


None-the-less, I think this may indicate a way forward for suburban
rail development. It seems that the market will pay more for a
superior product.
