Eurostar Ashford (not stopping)

[TimB]

I was on the 1513 Paris-London yesterday, due to stop at Ashford. I started to pay attention as we passed the Hitachi depot at a pretty good speed, and indeed we went through the tunnel below Ashford (and reached St Pancras 9 min early, which got me onto an earlier KX-Cambridge train than expected).
Did they really have not a single passenger for Ashford? That seems odd as so few trains call there now. Or have they really managed to persuade everyone to use Ebbsfleet instead?

Can't speak about any day in particular by whenever I've been waiting on the
(mainline) platform when a Eurostar arrives there's always been 20-30 people
getting on/off.
