Good news for fans of the crumbled edge of quality!
According to the Yorkshire Post...
CHANNEL Tunnel high-speed train company Eurostar is bidding to
operate a key rail route which runs between London and Scotland via
Yorkshire.
Eurostar is launching a joint bid with French company Keolis to run the East Coast line.
No doubt Eurostar's high quality rolling stock (sic) will convince the DfT that the company should also be entrusted with the UK's premier InterCity route?
UPDATE: This from Entraineur Rugby...
I must take issue with your shabby-chic vision of a Eurostar-run East Coast service.
They
are quite clear in the Yorkshire Post article that they are only
looking for a minority stake.
Surely they won't be in charge of the
trains?
Probably just the website.
