The Government fully supports the growth of international rail passenger services given the environmental, social and economic benefits they provide.<\/p>

My officials engage regularly with Eurostar and, alongside other issues, continue to discuss the potential reinstatement of services at Kent stations once it is commercially viable for them to do so.<\/p>

<\/p>

I met with Eurostar in December 2023 and, as I also made clear to the House last October, I emphasised the UK Government\u2019s desire to see the return of international services to Ebbsfleet and Ashford as soon as reasonably possible, particularly given the important benefits they provide for people and businesses in Kent.<\/p>

Funding from Network North will go to a combination of projects including additional funding to existing work, restarting important work that had previously been paused, and to new projects and schemes that are being developed, as set out in the announcement. Many schemes included in Network North have been announced, with projects due to be delivered at various times over the next decade and beyond.
