UK Government To Create A British International Rail Company.
With international trains no longer serving Kent International Stations such as Ebbsfleet & Ashford International & talks about new services & operators coming to HS1 via Europe destinations, we think the UK Government should create & run their own Great British Railways International.

Background
Currently there is no competition on HS1, and we think there is a demand for International services through mainly Ashford International & in future Ebbsfleet International for people & residents of the Southeast of England, as well Tourists coming to the UK via Kent. We think with competition, maybe the UK could have its own International service from London St Pancras via HS1 to destinations in Europe via both Kent stations, at a reasonable price.
