Ebbsfleet
- Thread starter Francko
- Start date
And 9 minutes to Stratford with central/dlr - shame about the walk between main and intl stations.
I live quite close - and want to visit ebbsfleet. If I go there I will ask how much. Will get cheaper when commuter service start in 2009.
We are even thinking of moving to meopham/longfield.

Sorry forbut Franko how did you manage to pile on nearly a stone in 11 days before christmas? (or is it all in jest?)
It's not that difficult. I actually think I got one more stone in the next 11 days. You just need an unstoppable appetite. My father-in-law is 6'6'' and almost 300 pounds. He was surprised that a 5'9'' guy with just a few pounds overweight could put him to shame at xmas festive meals.

But you won't be allowed to commute to London with the normal travel card, would you? I wonder how much you would have to pay to use the eurostar to commute. A shame that the house market will crash big time, otherwise it sounds like the best place to invest now.

I bought a house in TrAshford seven years ago on the basis of the high speed link and the mooted 30+ mins commute time into London.
If those trains are now going to have to stop to pickup ebbsfleet scum then it somewhat defeats the point of having a high speed link.
Also Meopham was always well served with direct trains to Cannon St (30 mins if I recall correctly) on the Canterbury line - is that still the case.?

We've invested in a couple of small properties there over the past few years, in a town about 15 minutes walk from the station. One of the big factors was Ebbsfleet, as well as the existing Bluewater site.
The area has already gone up in value somewhat more than average, due to the station and the vast construction/improvement taking place on the surrounding area. Rents have also started rising.
Long term, I think it'll be a great place to own a property - but I am certainly a property bear for now so won't be buying any more for a few years.
