Eurostar has called on the UK government to implement a comprehensive long-term strategy for international rail, cautioning against potential regulatory changes that could threaten its investments and growth. The train operator plans to order 50 new high-speed trains and establish new routes to cities like Frankfurt and Geneva. Competition for cross-Channel services is growing, with various companies aiming to enter the market, yet Eurostar highlights that capacity constraints at existing facilities could impede these initiatives. Without strategic planning, the UK risks lagging in the European rail sector.
Eurostar asserts that a strategic government approach is essential to enhance overseas rail capacity, potentially leading to increased high-skilled employment and economic growth.
The high-speed train operator warns that allowing competitors into existing facilities without sufficient planning could harm their investment and expansion plans.
Eurostar is finalizing an order for 50 new high-speed trains to modernize and expand its services, in addition to launching new routes to major European cities.
Despite competition from other rail operators, Eurostar emphasizes the need for a credible long-term strategy to avoid losing its market edge within the European rail landscape.
