Tuesday 5th May
RailEurope, the ticketing site which belongs, I believe to SNCF, still says that our new direct service between Ashford and Brussels does not exist.
Many passengers hold to a conspiracy theory that Eurostar does not want to use Ashford. This plays right into their hands. Alternatively, is it incompetence on the part of SNCF?
If the professionals cannot cope with timetables, how can one expect passengers to?

Note: Rail Europe’s registered office is just 27 miles away in West Malling, Kent!

Why We're Here

Eurostar, the international train company, will end all direct Ashford to Brussels services from 19th November 2007 when they open a new station at Ebbsfleet, some 35 miles away. We, as regular Eurostar passengers, wish to help save Eurostar from a decision that will undermine their existing customer base and their reputation.
