Background

During the night from 18th to 19th December 2009, five Eurostar trains failed in the Channel Tunnel and passengers encountered serious problems in completing their journey to London. As a result, the Board of Eurostar decided to commission an independent review into what happened.

As the seriousness of the disruption became more apparent, the Governments of France and the UK also requested an independent inquiry.

This Independent Review was announced by the Governments of France and the UK on Monday 21st December 2009 with Mr. Christopher Garnett and M. Claude Gressier as joint chairmen.

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.
