Thematic analysis of petition comments
Bring Back Euro Trains is pleased to present our new publication, the “Comments Insights Report, A Thematic Analysis of the Public Arguments for Kent International Rail Services.”
This crucial document is a comprehensive analysis of nearly 3,000 public comments submitted by signatories of our petition, which has now amassed over 82,000 signatures.
The resulting report is a passionate narrative, eloquently summarising the arguments for the resumption of international services from Ashford and Ebbsfleet. Its analysis reveals a public narrative that extends far beyond mere convenience.
Signatories are framing the suspension of these services as a significant issue of:
- Economic Vitality (including the massive waste of public infrastructure)
- Environmental Responsibility (forcing a shift to polluting alternatives)
- Regional Fairness and Public Trust (seen as a breach of the implicit HS1 social contract)
The sentiment expressed is overwhelmingly one of profound and sustained frustration. Many signatories articulate a deep sense of betrayal over the withdrawal of a service they consider essential to the region’s identity and future
We think his document is essential reading for anyone involved in researching and creating strategies for the international travel market from the UK to continental Europe.
