Competition on High Speed 1 has been given the green light: transport charity comments
31 March 2025
Commenting on the announcement by the Office of Rail and Road that some capacity at Eurostar’s London depot could be made available to other operators, Ben Plowden, Chief Executive of Campaign for Better Transport, said:
“This announcement means that competition on High Speed 1 has been given the green light – opening the door for more services to a wider variety of destinations across Europe. Passengers will be delighted to hear this news. Much of the great potential of the Channel Tunnel is currently untapped, so while there are further hurdles to clear, we are very glad that the reality of new services is closer than ever.”
