When the pandemic struck, Eurostar train services from London to the continent, calling at Ebbsfleet and Ashford stopped abruptly, mothballing state-of-the-art International stations at those places. These services have not resumed since Covid. Strange to say there are people who live in the UK between London and the rest of Europe, people who are now condemned to travel to London (with its attendant emissions) only to go back through Ashford to reach Paris or Brussels and even beyond. These include not only holidaymakers but also business people who have to meet their continental counterparts. It is quite absurd that tourists and commuters have to go in the opposite direction just to get across the Channel. Please support this petition to urge Eurostar to reinstate services from Ebbsfleet and Ashford. This comfortable journey over to mainland Europe worked well for many years only to be cruelly snatched away. Also still continuing to call these stations "International" is totally misleading.
