News: New Eurostar station opens in north Kent

Flights > News > # 1585 (20/11/2007)

The final stage of Kent's high speed rail link is in place with the opening of Ebbsfleet International Station.
The first Eurostar train for Paris left the £100m station yesterday morning (November 20).
Seven services to Paris and five to Brussels will run from the station, increasing the number of trains serving Kent from 12 to 16 trains every day. But it means a change for Ashford's international station, which opened 11 years ago, with fewer trains leaving for Paris and none going to Brussels.
Ebbsfleet is situated in north Kent, close to junction two of the M25.
Ashford International has retained three daily services to Paris and a daily service to Disneyland Resort Paris as well as its weekly services to Avignon during the summer and the French Alps during the winter. Travellers wanting to travel to Brussels from Ashford will now have to change at Lille.
