\n London St Pancras station would almost triple its capacity to deliver new train services to Europe by 2030.
\n ADVERTISEMENTYou could soon be able to travel by direct train from London to cities like Frankfurt and Zurich.\u00a0International high-speed rail travel from Britain to the rest of Europe is on track to become faster, more affordable, and more convenient by 2030.London St. Pancras Highspeed (formerly HS1) has agreed to work with Eurotunnel on a strategic partnership to boost high-speed rail connectivity between the UK and Europe.\u00a0\u00a0The plan hopes to incentivise more train operators to develop new routes to and from the British capital, reducing journey times and improving timetable coordination.New train operators brought on to rival Eurostar could even mean international rail passengers can bring their pets on board, something that isn\u2019t currently permitted.\u00a0A giant boost for \u2018rail-first\u2019 travel in EuropeLondon St. Pancras Highspeed and Eurotunnel have announced a partnership that they call a \u201cpivotal step\u201d in speeding up the growth of high-speed rail on both sides of the English Channel.Eurostar, which celebrated its 30-year anniversary in 2024, currently holds a monopoly on trains that run through the Channel Tunnel. Operated by Eurotunnel, the Channel Tunnel is the world\u2019s longest undersea tunnel. It allows millions of passengers and freight vehicles to travel between the UK and France each year.\u00a0The aim is \u201cto make rail travel the preferred transport option to the continent,\u201d according to a statement announcing the partnership. Both parties have said they will \u201cactively collaborate\u201d with governments on the environmental benefits of rail journeys under six hours.\u00a0The news follows a new study showing that St. Pancras has \u201cuntapped potential\u201d and could increase existing international passenger capacity from 1,800 by up to nearly 5,000 people per hour.\u00a0London St. Pancras Highspeed is currently the UK\u2019s only international high-speed rail line. It directly connects London to Paris, Brussels, and Amsterdam and offers some seasonal ski services to the French Alps.\u00a0This plan could allow access to new train routes between London and major European cities such as Frankfurt, Zurich, and even Milan.\u201cJoining forces with Eurotunnel is another exciting step on our journey to realise a future where high-speed rail is the preferred option for travelling to Europe,\u201d says\u00a0Robert Sinclair, CEO of London St. Pancras Highspeed.\u00a0Sinclair adds that the two companies, as key infrastructure managers, can unlock the potential of a \u201cfully connected Europe.\u201dInfrastructure is one part, but train operators also need to get on boardHigh-speed train travel between the UK and Europe reduces annual emissions equivalent to 60,000 short-haul flights (pr 750,000 tonnes of CO2) each year, according to research published by London St. Pancras Highspeed.ADVERTISEMENT\u201cWe are keen to drive forward attractive opportunities for low-carbon mobility with a range of new destinations in Germany, Switzerland and France,\u201d adds Yann Leriche, CEO of Getlink, the company behind Eurotunnel.\u00a0However, Mark Smith, a former rail industry worker who runs the popular train travel guide website Man in Seat 61, explains that this is only the first step in improving international train services.\u201cWe have to remember that these aren’t plans by a train operator to actually run trains.\u00a0 They are suggestions from infrastructure owners about what trains a future unspecified operator may or may not care to run. There’s a big difference!\u201d says Smith.Smith says that Getlink and HS1 have \u201ccapacity to spare\u201d, which is why they are \u201cpreparing the ground\u201d and \u201csimplifying processes\u201d to encourage new operators to compete with Eurostar on its existing routes. He adds that rail-on-rail competition is often more effective at \u201ckeeping the lid on prices\u201d than competing with other transport modes.\u00a0ADVERTISEMENTWhich new European train routes could connect with London?Several operators are seeking to capitalise on the station\u2019s planned expansion, including the Virgin Group, and new Spanish operator Evolyn, which was set up by investors in the UK coach company National Express.Smith says both operators are \u201ccredible contenders\u201d that \u201care most likely to be interested in the airline-competitive routes between London and Paris, Brussels and Amsterdam.\u201d These journeys are in the two to four-hour range.\u00a0He also says that a London-Cologne-Frankfurt route is a \u201crealistic possibility\u201d. But it\u2019s dependent on whether \u201csecure platforms and suitable terminal space can be found in Cologne and Frankfurt\u201d.\u00a0\u201cWe’re talking 2029 or, more likely, 2030 at the earliest.\u201dADVERTISEMENTA Eurotunnel spokesperson told Euronews Travel that \u201ccustomer demand for new destinations is clear and real\u201d. They shared market research the company carried out that shows Brits are actively seeking travel by train to Germany (K\u00f6ln, Frankfurt), Switzerland (Geneva, Zurich), and the South of France (Marseille, Bordeaux).\u202f\u202f\u00a0Other possible proposed routes, such as London to Geneva or Milan, says Smith, would likely be ruled out for commercial and operational reasons, even if passenger demand exists.\u00a0Looking ahead to the future, he believes that a new operator to rival Eurostar could bring a new dawn in \u201csimpler and more easily-booked arrangements for cyclists\u201d and \u201callow pets [to travel] under the PETS travel scheme\u201d, which Eurostar doesn\u2019t currently allow.\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
