Eurostar aims to launch direct train services from the UK to Germany and Switzerland in the early 2030s, despite previous setbacks. Current market conditions are deemed favorable for this expansion, as Eurostar plans to acquire up to 50 new trains. With a 5% rise in passenger numbers last year, competing operators, including Virgin and a British startup, are also eyeing entry into Eurostar's market. The Office of Rail and Road has highlighted limited depot space for expansion, urging operators to submit plans for the Temple Mills depot in London.
Eurostar is determined to operate direct routes from the UK to Germany and Switzerland by the early 2030s, despite prior challenges in this area.
The rail regulator has indicated that only one more operator can be accommodated at the London depot, which presents challenges for Eurostar's expansion plans.
