Strategy

Our aim

Our aim is to represent the collective voice of the community who have been impacted by the loss of European train connections in Ashford and Ebbsfleet.

Our strategy to achieve these aims are:

1. To promote the Bring Back Eurostar petition which will provide evidence to show that the demand and sentiment for a Cross-Channel train service remains strong in Kent.
2. To encourage Eurostar to return to, or an alternative train provider to serve Kent.  We believe the best way to do this is to demonstrate that the Kent-Europe route remains popular and profitable with longer term growth potential.
3. To collaborate and work with local government and other specialist groups to help share knowledge, disseminate information and provide resident input where needed.

There are a number of ways in which cross-channel train services might return to Kent, please see our page on broader ideas.
