Cross-Channel train services for Kent and London

Early day motion 1258, tabled 14 May 2025 by Tristan Osborne (Labour). Signed by 10 members.

That this House calls on the Government to support the return of cross-Channel train services to the Kent stations of Ashford and Ebbsfleet, which were suspended during the pandemic; and believes that the reinstatement could bring a direct economic benefit of £281 million to Kent, with a larger impact including tourist spend and other multiplier effects.
