Part one is cost and keeping the services separated. So late running north Kent line trains can't delay a Eurostar, and the location of the coast bound platforms make it expensive to connect easily to the NK line.
As for Northfleet station, on going issues, mainly around cost, and that Northfleet is one planning area, and Ebbsfleet another.
The Germans would laugh at that load of bollocks ( not the writer, but the pathetic excuses he relays.)
And why does Crossrail end at Abbey Wood and not Ebbsfleet? The French would laugh at that.
As somebody who lives near Abbey Wood & Woolwich Arsenal stations Crossrail will be a great improvement to local transport in an area with a rapidly growing population. If the line went as far as Ebbsfleet the trains would be probably be full by the time they arrived at Abbey Wood.Also Ebbsfleet already has high speed services into Stratford & St Pancras. Crossrail will also be controlled by TFL which should be a lot better than Southeastern.
Agreed, though it'll be interesting how many people change to Crossrail at Abbey Wood especially coming from Dartford
Its the real name of Crossrail... Its being called the Elizabeth Line
A stupid name really, as it's not a single line like a conventional Tube line, but rather a tunnel connecting mainly existing rail lines, and everyone knew the Crossrail name...

Yes, but the next one will be Crossrail TOO
By the time the next one is built (with the speed things are done in this country), it'll be the William line...
