Talk:Ebbsfleet International railway station

Untitled
I don't think it is true to say that the station is "also known as Dartford International" - not if the road signing on the nearby A2 road at the newly-built link roads are anything to go by! CTRL originally announced that it would be called Dartford International, assuming that the latter place, because of the Dartford Crossing, would be better-known. Local protests, saying among other things that many places are unknown until they ARE known; and that from the beginning of the CTRL project it was called Ebbsfleet; have now finalised the name shown at the head of the article.

 * I second it, the signs on the A2 and the rest, etc all call it Ebbsfleet, not "Dartford International" Pickle 21:04, 18 February 2006 (UTC)
 * Thirded. The signs say Ebbsfleet. Also "The new station will be three miles from Dartford railway station" is pure fiction. Unless they are planning on moving either station in the near future that is..... Ebbsfleet is a short stroll from Northfleet station, a full 4 stops on the train from Dartford. --LiamE 11:00, 20 February 2006 (UTC)
 * Never thought I'd see a naming war between Dartmouth and Gravesend partisans... whatever name has been settled on, we really do need a source stating that, or possibly a picture of a road sign. EdC 14:46, 7 March 2006 (UTC)
 * I made a point of driving past the signs before posting. The signs say Ebbsfleet Intl as at last week without question. And there are lots of them. In addition the Stratford Intl station article agrees that its Ebbsfleet not Dartford. And how about a credit report from Ebbsfleet international station limited as confirmation? Of course if thats not good enough shall we end this discussion with the people who built and own the station. They call it Ebbsfleet. The whole article is a red herring. The only serious discussion was between Ebbsfleet Intl and Kent Thames-side. And that discussion was a long time ago. --LiamE 16:12, 9 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Found a pic of what we're all seing . In light of this broad consensus shouldn't it be switched back ? Pickle 03:42, 23 March 2006 (UTC)

Ebbsfleet IS in Gravesham
According to Gravesham Borough Council, Ebbslfeet Valley is part of Gravesham.

 * That article wont load for me. Whatever. Look for the borough boundary maps. Ebbsfleet station is clearly in the borough of Dartford. --LiamE 13:58, 6 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Okay that article finally loaded. You must have different eyes to me as I don't see where it says that Ebbsfleet is in Gravesham. It is and article about Thames gateway development which is multi-borough. The only bit it has specifics on is the Springhead Park part which is of course in Gravesham. --LiamE 14:08, 6 July 2007 (UTC)
 * |16|4 This is about as clear as it gets.--LiamE 14:22, 6 July 2007 (UTC)

DA11, the post code area that Ebbsfleet international is clearly shown as being within (see the red line?) is WITHIN GRAVESHAM - Gravesend and Northfleet. It's obvious what your mistake is, you are looking a tthe words "Ebbsfleet International" and assuming that is the precise location of the station. Instead, look a the icon next to it - with the BR symbol - that is the exact location. This clearly is within the council boundries of Gravesham.Sibod 16:17, 6 July 2007 (UTC)


 * You clearly can't read a map. Postcode matters not. Look at the map I linked. See that thick bluish squiggly line to the right of the station? follow that up or down and you will see its the borough boundary, and the station is without doubt on the Dartford side. Please stop changing the article without source to your claims. --LiamE 16:51, 6 July 2007 (UTC)

Difficult to access?
''and there are no plans to divert the North Kent line closer to the station. Thus it will remain difficult for potential customers in West Kent and South East London to access it easily by public transport.''

This seems a bit argumentative, or at least arguable. It's only a four minute walk from the Northfleet station. Ordinary Person (talk) 09:14, 17 April 2008 (UTC)

Note the local authority thinks that pedestrian access IS inadequate. . . http://www.gravesham.gov.uk/democracy/documents/s5978/Report.pdf Proposals HAVE been made to provide a direct link but the report claims funding not likely to be available

I have added a section 'Pedestrian Access' detailing the poor access between Ebbsfleet and Northfleet stations including a new reference linking to a Gravesham Council report about the issue.

Distance from St Pancras
How far is it away from Stratford International and St Pancras International? 116.48.87.202 (talk) 15:18, 24 January 2011 (UTC)
 * Distances are on the map on the High Speed 1 article; bottom of the infobox right the right click on the show on the Route map line. Edgepedia (talk) 17:49, 24 January 2011 (UTC)

Javelin section dated
The Olympics are over- Javelins go to Maidstone, and there is a national service to Ashford-- anyone got time to sort this out. I think a map template would be helpful too.--ClemRutter (talk) 12:52, 29 September 2012 (UTC)
