Hi All

Do the Some of the HS1 services run on a loop - IE Via Gravesend To Margate Then Dover Then Ashford onto STP?
If so which ones?

No, not any more.

Although there are services from London to Ramsgate via both Ashford and Faversham, they don't match up or work through at Ramsgate.

So do they go via Faversham / Dover / Ashford or do they turn back at a point like Dover?

Looking at RTT, it appears you have St Pancras - Faversham via Gillingham, St Pancras - Ramsgate via Ashford and Canterbury West and St Pancras - Dover via Ashford and Folkestone.

There are now three main off-peak services each hour:
St Pancras to Margate via Canterbury West
St Pancras to Ramsgate via Dover Priory
St Pancras to Ramsgate via Faversham

They get to Margate or Ramsgate and go back on the route they came from.

Some of the services are cut off at Dover or Faversham at the start of the peak - see https://www.realtimetrains.co.uk/se...22-11-15/0200-0159?stp=WVS&show=all&order=wtt

On a normal Saturday, the Ramsgate via Dover train terminates at Dover https://www.realtimetrains.co.uk/se...22-11-15/0200-0159?stp=WVS&show=all&order=wtt
