Unusual HS1 routing St Pancras - Dover Priory

[Cletus]

Don't think I've ever seen this before a Dover Priory service going via Faversham and Canterbury East.

Engineering works between Ebbsfleet & Ashford I would imagine with Canterbury East being used in lieu of West.

First happened back on 15 June. It was weird to get off a Javelin at East!.

IIRC, there used to be one night a week where the 395s would go that way between Faversham and Thanet non-stop as the line through Herne Bay was closed.

Would that mean a rail replacement bus between St Pancras and Paris/Brussels?

I've just noticed the OP's RTT link has services that day going non-stop from Ebbsfleet to Faversham. When I rode them on 15 June, they had a normal calling pattern from St Pancras-Faversham.
