It seems extraordinary that with all that is likely to take place, and these houses not being very desirable places in which to live while the tunnel is being built, at the end of the day, when the whole project is finished and the tunnel is operating, if the Shepway Council decides to build a station quite close to Newington those houses, in perhaps 10 years, will be most attractive propositions. Imagine having a house within one hour's travelling time of London with a five minutes' walk to the station—there cannot be many such places in the country like it—and within one and a half hours' travelling time of Paris.
