Save Eurostar part 2 (update)

I have a blog update about Eurostar. 

mrlimitless95.blogspot.com if you haven’t heard or read any news about Eurostar then you can read my previous blog post about it. 

So since I last wrote my blog about Eurostar given we know that it is not in good shape financially, the Transport Secretary Grants Shapps have recently said reported that Cross Channel train service (Eurostar) in quote “not our company to rescue”. In other words, Grant Shapps doesn’t even want to do something to save Eurostar from becoming nearly defunct which it will be heartbreaking for all of us who have used Eurostar train service from the UK to mainland Europe. That is appallingly out of touch. Grant Shapps (Transport Secretary). cityam.com 

If the government can bail out airlines like EasyJet, British Airways and Virgin Alantic as they had all been devastatingly affected by the effects of the Covid pandemic then the government should do the same. Bailing out Eurostar. google.co.uk 

Instead they (the govt) would rather let the French government to be the only ones to do something to save Eurostar. They (the UK government) need to stop being Brexity by finding a way to bail out Eurostar before it goes out of business. Defunct. Which will be a shame. Prime Minister Boris Johnson and UK Transport Secretary Grant Shapps aren’t interested of wanting to do something to rescue the Eurostar company as the jobs of employees are all at risk as we speak. Not just in London. Also in 3 European cities (Amsterdam, Brussels and Paris). 

Eurostar is joint European train service. Not just international train service who connects the UK to three European countries who are EU member states: France, Belgium and the Netherlands. Across the channel. The English Channel where there is Channel Tunnel. 

So what can you do to save Eurostar? 

There are three petitions. 

Parliament petition (for citizens and residents living in the UK only). “Work with the French government, to protect/save international rail travel”.

petition.parliament.uk 

RMT Union Petition (for everybody in the UK and overseas). “Save Eurostar”. 

megaphone.org.uk 

Possible Petition (for everybody in the UK only) “Tell the government to protect climate friendly travel”. 

action.wearepossible.org 

Please do sign all three petitions, one of two or one of the petitions so that bring attention to the government.

Finally as the person who travelled on the Eurostar train from London St Pancras to Paris Gare Du Nord in summer of 2019, it will be a shame (big shame) if the govt didn’t do anything to rescue European/international train service. No wonder shockingly, they would want Eurostar to go bust than doing something to act on saving the train service that everyone have been travelling between the UK and continental Europe since 1994. If that’s the case (Eurostar out of business) then UK passengers will visit Europe via one mode of transport (plane) once the pandemic is over. It’ll be the same for French, Dutch and Belgian passengers to visit the UK. I sincerely hope and pray that shouldn’t be the case. Going to three European destinations (Paris, Brussels and Amsterdam) without Eurostar. 

So yeah, please do sign the petition to save Eurostar before it’s too late. 🙂😀🚄🇬🇧🇫🇷🇧🇪🇳🇱🇪🇺⭐️
