flag Virgin Trains wins UK approval to launch 2030 cross-Channel trains, ending Eurostar’s monopoly.

flag Virgin Trains has secured UK approval to launch cross-Channel services by 2030, ending Eurostar’s 30-year monopoly on the route. flag The company plans to connect London St Pancras to Paris, Brussels, and Amsterdam, with future expansion to France, Germany, and Switzerland. flag Access to the Temple Mills depot enables the project, which could bring £700 million in investment and 400 jobs. flag The move aims to increase competition, lower fares, and improve service quality on a route long criticized for high prices and poor customer satisfaction. flag Final track access, safety certification, and a depot-sharing agreement with Eurostar remain pending.
