From Norman McCanch
Feedback reported on the London train that divides at Ashford International sending four coaches to Ramsgate, with the other four continuing to Ramsgate (25 February). Sadly there is no beam-splitter at Ashford International station; the answer is rather more prosaic. The train does divide, with one section heading east to Ramsgate via Canterbury. The other half heads south-east to Ramsgate via Folkestone, Dover and Sandwich. Passengers need to sincerely hope both halves arrive out of phase, since they have to use the same platform at Ramsgate. In practice, the coastal route takes up to 40 minutes longer so this catastrophe never arises.
