Swiss Railways train in Zurich Station
AND NOW THERE WERE SEVEN + EUROSTAR
Late last year, on the 30th anniversary of the opening of the Channel Tunnel, we still had only one train company running passenger services between London and the continent. 6 months into 2025, we now have at least 7 other possible competitors to Eurostar who are:- 1 Deutsche Bahn – They are the German State Rail Operator. They could probably raise the finance and already use similar trains to the e320s used by Eurostar. They have not given a launch-date for any services. 2 Evolyn/FS Italiane Group – This is a joint venture between a large Spanish coach company and Italian State Railways. They can probably raise the finance and claim that the Trenitalia ETR 400 trains could be adapted
