Why this petition matters

Started by Daniel Smith

During the UK Covid lockdown, Eurostar made the decision to close in March 2020 both Ebbsfleet & Ashford International Stations as numbers at the time weren't big enough & profitable enough to keep both International stations open, which resulted in the company running services from their main station London St Pancras International. Since UK Lockdown has ended, their have been promises & updates made of when Eurostar may open services again back in Kent. I think Kent have had enough of waiting, think its time for the company aswell competition or competition rail companies to reinstate International at both stations  being both now Ashford International & Ebbsfleet International. As currently now out of UK Lockdown, with UK residents being able to travel again across to Europe aswell world. Ashford International Station  aswell Ebbsfleet Int needs to reopen its two international platforms & terminal again. Have Eurostar aswell other competitors services stop again at the station. As its now taking the piss of unnecessary travel time & money for Kent residents living in Ashford, Canterbury, Margate, Maidstone, Medway Towns, aswell those in Sussex travelling via Ashford International aswell Ebbsfleet Int. There needs to be a compromise, either Bring Back Our Eurostar & other International Services to Ashford International or both including Ebbsfleet Int? or we take our demand elsewhere. 

If agree with this statement, would love to see Eurostar & other International rail operating services return to Ashford International aswell Ebbsfleet International a lot earlier, instead of travelling unnecessarily up to London? Sign, support and share this petition. I love trains, travel, but to travel to London to catch Eurostar & other rail services to Europe, is taking the mic especially as there are now talks to bring Eurostar services to London Stratford International, when its 7 minutes away from London St Pancras. But no talk about reopening either Kent Stations. Aswell now talks about new routes from London to Germany, South of France aswell beyond via direct services non stop through Kent, with the intention to prevent passengers changing trains. What does Kent, Sussex people have to do currently via London? "Changing Trains". If seriously would love to see Ashford International Station aswell Ebbsfleet Int reopen & offer International services again? Especially if you are an Ashford resident or Ebbsfleet area resident or resident who lives in rest of Kent aswell Sussex, aswell Essex? Support, sign and share as every signature counts. Together we can officially & successfully #BringBackEurostarToKent aswell the word "International" to both stations.
