Ebbsfleet International railway station is a railway station in Ebbsfleet, in the borough of Dartford, Kent.
Ebbsfleet International Station is served by Eurostar, with up to four trains per hour in peak time between Ebbsfleet, Paris and Brussels.
"Ebbsfleet International Station" was the name originally proposed for the station, but 'Dartford International Station' was later proposed at the urging of Eurostar, who felt that Dartford was a name with greater national recognition.

  Ebbsfleet International
‘’Ebbsfleet’’ derives from the name of the River Fleet, which passes through the site: it appears to begin at Spring Head Nursery, immediately north of the A2, passes under the western end of Northfleet station, and flows into the Thames at the same longitudinal point as the latter.
The reserved land was bordered to its west by Southfleet Road, to the north by the North Kent Line, to the east by a flooded chalk pit and the A2260, and finally, to the south by the A2 trunk road.
The whole project in North West Kent was known as the ‘’Ebbsfleet Development’’, which comprised an area of 174 hectares: this expanse was allocated for the station complex, business units, and housing.

The presence of pollen grains from a number of tree species, including birch, pine, oak, elm, alder and hazel, and teeth from a woodmouse indicate an interglacial climate, similar to or warmer than the present day, with the lake surrounded by woodland, probably with some open areas due to heavy grazing.
