GetLink chief executive Jacques Gounon told French paper the Journal du Dimanche 鈥渢he rail market is ready for cheap and premium offers to coexist鈥� and opening the link to low-cost trains could see a 鈥�58% increase in the number of people using the Channel Tunnel鈥�.

No interested operator has so far come forward but Eurostar, which runs the present services, has ruled itself out. Spokeswoman B茅r茅nice Decharn颅eux said it read speculation 鈥渨ith interest鈥� but had no plans for such a service.

The tunnel is under-utilised and the study said a low-cost model like SNCF鈥檚 Ouigo or the Thalys Izy could link to peripheral stations, use older rail lines to give a three-hour service at 25-30% less than the present 2hr 20min London-Paris link.

GetLink lists 鈥榥ew destinations and low-cost carriers鈥� in its June 2018 report to investors.
