Deutsche Bahn will be able to operate fleeting services through the Channel Tunnel under the Handle
Attended an ulterior traffic of 3-4 million passengers
June 17, 2013
The Franco-British intergovernmental commission has granted to the German group Deutsche Bahn (DB) the railway certification necessary in order to operate fleeting services through the Channel Tunnel, the railway gallery under the English Channel managed from the Eurotunnel group. This last one has emphasized that the decision will allow a remarkable increase of the exchanges between the United Kingdom and northern Europe and will bring an ulterior traffic of 3-4 million passengers that will be added to almost ten the million people who annually are transported through the tunnel.
"To twenty years from the beginning of the commercial services - it has commented the president and managing director of Eurotunnel, Jacques Gounon - finally the authorities have opened the Channel Tunnel to all. This is a wonderful news for the million passengers of northern Europe who now can use this modality of transport, that he is most compatible with the atmosphere, in order to travel until London".
