This station was rebuilt as Ashford International during the early 1990s for international services from mainland Europe; this included the addition of two platforms to the north of station (the original down island platform had been taken over by international services). Unlike normal [[LGV Nord|LGV]] stations in France, the through tracks for [[Ashford International railway station]] are off to one side rather than going through.<ref name="eurostar.com" /> The number of services was reduced after the opening of the [[Ebbsfleet International railway station|Ebbsfleet station]].
