Huge congratulations to Getlink for celebrating 30 years! Bring Back Euro Trains applauds its commitment to providing effective, eco-friendly solutions to mobility and transport issues. Over the years, Getlink has positioned itself as a trailblazer and key actor in the rail transport industry. To continue to champion our environment, we need more bold initiatives, as proposed by Yann Leriche, which focus on doubling direct high-speed services. Direct trains should especially be prioritised, as they emit significantly less carbon dioxide than non-direct train journeys. Before March 2020, passengers from Kent were able to take a direct train from Ashford and Ebbsfleet stations into Europe, a service which was abruptly stopped due to Coronavirus. Three years later, this service has yet to resume, to the detriment of Kent’s economy and environment, and other residents from regions nearby who used to benefit from it. Bring Back Euro Trains exists to support the return of cross-channel trains to the Kent stations it used to serve. We invite Getlink to support the expansion of its proposed London to continental Europe services to call at Ashford and Ebbsfleet International Stations. This would not only benefit Kent residents and business owners who especially moved to the area for the attractive European connection, but also residents in other regions who preferred to stop at Ashford station to get a train into Europe. The future of rail is green. We welcome future initiatives which will take this reinstatement into consideration for the good of the environment and more seamless connectivity between post-Brexit Great Britain and Europe. #international #rail #transportation #sustainability #sustainabletransport #ecofriendly #travel #sncf
