Supporting Ashford and Ebbsfleet’s International Status
Bring Back Euro Trains campaigns for the return of cross-Channel train services to Kent stations Ashford and Ebbsfleet, which were suspended during the pandemic and never reinstated.
Bring Back Euro Trains is managed by a small core group of dedicated volunteers working together for the good of Ashford, Kent and cross-Channel rail networks generally. Our aim is to pursue engagement and dialogue with all stakeholders until these services resume.
By signing the petition, you are demonstrating that the demand and sentiment for a Cross-Channel train service remains strong in Kent.
