Getlink: studying London-Bordeaux rail route

(CercleFinance.com) - On Monday evening, Getlink, the operator of the channel tunnel until 2086, announced the signing of an agreement between four infrastructure managers for the launch of a feasibility study for the required modifications of the Bordeaux Saint-Jean train station for future trains to London.


"This agreement is a key milestone in the innovative cooperation between SNCF-Réseau, Eurotunnel, Lisea and HS1 in their bid to create a 'turn-key' open access route for an operator.

The study will scope the requirements for the facilities for a new border control and security to allow passengers to travel directly from Bordeaux St Jean station to London St Pancras without the need to
change trains," Getlink said.

This project would link Bordeaux to London in less than five hours.
