A Modern Beautifully Designed Station
Eurostar's brand-new Kent station is their second home in the garden of England, and complements services with Ashford International. Its glass and steel structure is a sleek and futuristic addition to the surrounding countryside and is situated minutes from Junction 2 of the M25. It’s also close to the M2, M20 and A2, as well as being a stone’s throw from Bluewater Shopping Centre.

Helping the Environment
All Eurostar journeys are now carbon neutral at no extra cost to you. Also by 2012 Eurostar aims to reduce its carbon dioxide emissions by 25% per passenger journey. Independent research has already shown that a Eurostar journey between London and Paris / Brussels generates ten times less carbon dioxide than flying.

By train and then bus:
Southeastern will directly connect to Ebbsfleet International with its high-speed domestic train service in December 2009. Until then, Eurostar's new station can be accessed by a combination of train and then bus. Southeastern currently serves Dartford, Greenhithe, Gravesend and Swanscombe stations. It’s then possible to jump on a frequent Fastrack bus service from any of these stations to Ebbsfleet International. If travelling on rail services from London, we recommend you interchange at Greenhithe. If travelling on rail services towards London, we recommend you use Gravesend, head for the platform 2 exit and cross the road at the pedestrian lights to reach the Fastrack B bus stop.

Please note that as services are either reduced or suspended during public holidays, we ask you to refer to the Southeastern timetable for more information.

Free Travel with Southeastern:
To make things even easier, Eurostar have teamed up with Southeastern to offer free travel to all Eurostar travellers to and from local rail stations near Ebbsfleet International or to and from Ashford International from anywhere on the Southeastern network in Kent, East Sussex and south east London*. All you have to do is show your passport and ticket or ticket confirmation/email when asked by any member of the Southeastern team.

Please allow plenty of time for your journey to the station and your public transport connections.

Please note that Northfleet is a 15 minute walk from both a Fastrack bus stop and Ebbsfleet International, so this station is not recommended if you have heavy luggage or are travelling with children.

Terms & conditions apply. Please see the Southeastern website for full list of participating stations along with the terms and conditions.

By Coach:
Ebbsfleet International is served by National Express coaches on the Dover-Canterbury-London Victoria route.
