Introducing Ebbsfleet International

In conjunction with the all new services from St. Pancras, Eurostar have also expanded their number of stations in the South East.

The new Ebbsfleet International station stands between St.Pancras and Ashford in Kent and is a brand new station designed to provide commuters of the M25 with easy access to the new High Speed 1 line. It will also allow Eurostar to compete more effectively with the airports in the South East.










Ebbsfleet International (originally named Dartford International) is located close to Bluewater shopping centre, and between Swanscombe and Northfleet in Kent. To connect with other rail and road networks Ebbsfleet International station allows car parking for 9000 cars and a new 1.6 mile link between the High Speed 1 line and the old North Kent line has also been developed.

Initial domestic, high-speed timescales suggest Ebbsfleet International to St. Pancras International will take approximately 17 minutes. Going in the other direction towards foreign soil, Ebbsfleet International to Paris Gare du Nord will take just over an hour.

Sorry guys, it looks like only one copy of FHM magazine is required for the journey....
