Hopefully if they ever build Crossrail we might get a link from Dartford
to
Ebbsfleet.

AIUI Crossrail intend to call their terminus Ebbsfleet Crossrail. The bad
news is that the likely location is adjacent to Northfleet station, rather
than adjacent to Ebbsfleet aka Dartford International.

I didn't realise that. What happened to the idea of integrated transport?
(joke ofcourse).

One of the worst aspects of the point you make is the outpourings from the
E* front man who foresees E* passengers driving round the M25 in large
numbers to gain access to the 9,000 car park spaces so thoughtfully to be
provided at Ebbsfleet. I understand the KCC have expressed concern about
this influx but then they are a load of antediluvian fuddy duddies. I wonder
what microcephalic Prescott thinks of this. Perhaps he and his chums in
government have forgotten or had banned the word "integrated". Can someone
on the inside enlighten us?

Building a Crossrail station at Ebbsfleet would most likely mean
improved pedestrian links between Northfleet, Ebbsfleet Crossrail and
Ebbsfleet International. There's not much point sending Crossrail on to
Ebbsfleet otherwise. Northfleet is only a matter of a few hundred metres
from Ebbsfleet Int'l anyway.

Don't be so pessimistic!
