What train operators want to exploit channel subway services?
Although the channel has been open to the competition since 2010, no other operator has not tried to challenge the Eurostar field. But the latest Ethical changes And Legal challenges Many companies are competing to provide new services.

New Report on Eurostar Competition
From the opening of the tunnel under the channel of La Manjo 1994Eurostar maintains the monopoly of the train services between the United Kingdom and Europe. Although nothing prevents new operators from getting down to the market, Entry barriers Cycling Height.
To get started, the trains must be long to align with the exhaust points of the mines, and there are many Technical requirements Many manufacturers cannot meet. The cost of obtaining new trains that meet these requirements rated from 35 to 60 million euros per train has banned competitors from entering the market.
Operators also needed to run a service via La Manjha Canal Deposit. The St. Bankrus International in London and the maintenance deposit of the Temple Mills are under the control of the Eurostar, which is often said to be in the range of the temple Mills.
However, a New ReportThe United Kingdom’s Road and Railway Office (ORR) was appointed by the Independent Advisor, Ibex, which suggests that it is not true.

He says that without changes, it can be accessed immediately, but the rest will be achieved by investments.
Virgin’s group has appreciated The results of the reportAccording to reports that the temple Mills suggested that they are in the range of their capabilities, the La Manjha Canal prevents Virgin’s offer for services through the canal. “Finally one Green signal For the competition, “a virgin spokesman says.” There are no important obstacles to deal with, and Virgin is ready to accept the challenge. “
However, Eurostar argues that the report confirms its report The deposit is in the range of its ability. A spokesman said: “Eurostar confirms what you have always said: The main maintenance of the Temple Mills deposit is effective today, and there will be an investment to meet the growing demands of the international railway line.” Eurostar points out that the report options may create some skill, but it is not enough to host an additional operator.
