The station wasn’t designed for border controls and whilst it could be upgraded given the lower numbers the lower numbers also mean its less economically worth it. Hopefully if Eurostar don’t want to another company can come fill the gap now that the tunnel is open to others.
Do they provide any reason to exclude Ashford? Are there not enough passengers, or is the station no longer usable?

lots of excuses been given over the years, but comes down to it’s cheaper to run a single internation station than two.
Probably that.
