MarshLink Action Group (MLAG)

MarshLink Action Group (MLAG) is a voluntary organisation campaigning for improvements to the rail network between Ashford and Hastings. Established in 2003, MLAG engages with Network Rail, the Department of Transport, train operators, and local politicians to advocate for better services and infrastructure. The group focuses on issues such as line enhancements, electrification, increased train frequency, and the reinstatement of Eurostar services from Ashford International. MLAG also provides input on train operation consultations to ensure passenger needs are considered. The organisation shares updates on live train running information and current campaigns through its website, which also features historical photos and articles. MLAG actively participates in community events and collaborates with other local groups to promote sustainable travel. Membership is open to those interested in supporting the campaign for a more reliable and efficient rail service along the MarshLink line.
