"From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging."
"Virgin Trains is set to launch international services through the Channel Tunnel after its application to share Eurostar's east London depot was approved. Regulator the Office of Rail and Road (ORR) granted access to Sir Richard Branson's company to use the Temple Mills site for maintaining and storing trains. The billionaire entrepreneur pledged to shake-up the cross-Channel route. Access to the depot is a critical requirement for an operator to launch Channel Tunnel services competing with Eurostar."
The Independent solicits donations to fund on-the-ground journalism across topics including reproductive rights, climate change, and tech, and keeps content free of paywalls for public access. Donations support reporters who interview multiple perspectives and produce investigations and documentaries such as 'The A Word'. The Office of Rail and Road approved Virgin Trains' access to Temple Mills depot, allowing Sir Richard Branson's company to maintain and store trains on High Speed 1. Temple Mills is the only depot accessible from HS1, making it essential for Channel Tunnel services. Virgin plans competing cross-Channel passenger services in 2030 but requires additional approvals for track access and safety.
