Title: Eurostar trains not to stop in Kent till at least 2024 Post by: infoman on September 10, 2023, 08:34:05 Eurostar have stated.
A 30,000 signed petition was handed to the boss's of Eurostar on Tuesday 5th September 2023, to have eurostar to resume stopping at the Kent stations. Population of Kent is 1.8 million Title: Re: Eurostar trains not to stop in Kent till at least 2024 Post by: Ralph Ayres on September 10, 2023, 18:57:10 It really is time the "International" stations were renamed. It was of questionable value when Eurostar did occasionally serve them, and is just plain misleading now. It would also be clearer to drop it for the "domestic" bits of St Pancras. Stratford International, which has never been served by any continental train, is of course at a level of ridiculousness all of its own!!

However unlike the above mentioned St Pancras International, Stratford International, Ebbsfleet International and Ashford International have a legally defined international frontier / border post within the station the above do not.
