I am 100% grateful for your support to all who have read, signed, supported and shared via promoting via donations or via social media. Cheers and thank you for getting petition to this much support & signatures so far. Really am grateful for all your support, we are being noticed via media and MP's, via this petition results and the other asking for both International stations to reopen. Which is amazing to see, but I won't be stopping this petition until those or one of those stations a.k.a I think Ashford International is reopened.

As anything can still happen between now & coming to a potential opening, so I will be keeping this going until the station or stations physically open to the public which hopefully won't be too far away into the future? I hope? Even if it was Eurostar or Evolyn that offer services or both? Either way via Lille Europe and opportunity for travelers coming to the UK aswell residents going to Europe via Kent can change trains, as that would be really useful for anyone to change trains at if say the train your are on from Ashford doesn't go to destination you are travelling to. This way it leaves opportunity to catch trains via Lille Europe or Lille Flandres to your targeted destination which I think would be really helpful unless the companies offer direct services alongside indirect ones like Eurostar once did before? That would also be really helpful? As much as I am grateful to the amount of support so far to get this to this stage, we still need as many signatures as possible so if can?

Please continue to promote & share, as the message is getting out there, Kent, Sussex and rest of Southeast could 100% benefit from these services especially not just residents, but also tourism coming to attractions in the local areas. Like Dreamland Margate, Canterbury City Centre, Hastings, Eastbourne, Maidstone, Medway towns and various other places. Even steam & heritage railways in Tenterden, Hythe, Sheperdswell, Sittingbourne aswell other attractions in rest of Kent & Sussex. Especially via roads via taxi, bus, or car or via train connections via Ashford to Tonbridge, Hastings and Canterbury onto Thanet, Ashford International is really good connectivity to rest of Kent & parts of Sussex which makes it I think the more ideal station to reopen before Ebbsfleet International, with all railways leading into this station aswell roadways leading also into this area.

Its like its central to Kent especially with access via M20. Makes it the more ideal station to reopen before Ebbsfleet Int and a better alternative of those living in Medway & Northern Kent for now to travel via train or coach, car or bus to Ashford, as after all its on the way to Europe, not a wasted journey compared to go to London & coming back on yourself. It would be a better option until in future Ebbsfleet Int could maybe be considered to be reopened for north Kent. My thought for now though, lets focus getting one station open for Kent a.k.a Ashford International with the potential of Ebbsfleet Int reopening once rest of Garden City is built & if Ashford Int terminal fills over capacity? Which it could? That could spark reopening that station? But until that happens, think Ashford Int station is the station out of two that should reopen first especially aswell being really far away from London & would be a short journey to those who already live nearby to easily access like residents in Dover, Folkestone, Ham street and other areas surrounding? 

Cheers for reading, cheers for again all support. Lets get Ashford station reopened & have the "International" actually mean something instead of being just a title with trains passing. Because with right support, proof of demand. I believe we could get either Eurostar or Evolyn or an other Int rail company stop here, we just need big belief. I believe we could with big belief get our International station reopened. :)
