Eurostar services will not stop in Kent in 2025, operator confirms Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer said he was in favour of the swift return of the services.

The high-speed train operator connecting the UK to the continent halted services to the Kent stations of Ashford International and Ebbsfleet International during the pandemic and has not resumed them since, to the frustration of passengers.

Speaking in Parliament on Wednesday, Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer said he was “keen to see international services reinstated to Ashford as soon as possible”.

A statement from Eurostar said: “Our Kent stations will remain closed throughout 2025 and will be reviewed in 2026.

Sir Keir was responding to Ashford MP Sojan Joseph who said that businesses in the town had been “badly let down” by the Conservatives.
