Ashford is a run-down provincial town (sorry, but that's the reality),
and I can't see why people would want to travel from there to London and
back on a premium service outside commuter hours.

Though come the full service there will be 2tph off-peak from Ashford
into London.

Because that's what they had to promise.

TBH they have to do that to provide hourly services on each of the two lines
going forward. Splitting&joining an hourly service is undesirable (even if
they do do it with the classic service)
