Railfuture is campaigning for Britain to follow the example of France, Germany and Spain in building new high-speed rail lines. They help regeneration and are highly popular. For more information, click on the logo above.


Eurostar has cut most of its stops at Ashford in favour of Ebbsfleet. Railfuture believes Eurostar is wrong and that MORE local services should be provided from Kent into northern France. For more information, click on the logo above.
