    An MP says an international railway station in east Kent is to lose most of its services to Europe when a new £100m station opens in a year's time.

    Damian Green said all Brussels trains, as well as off-peak Paris ones, would be cut from Ashford International.

    The Ashford MP said the services would be lost to Ebbsfleet International Station in north Kent, which was being officially unveiled on Tuesday.

    Eurostar is due to make an announcement about its services later this morning.
