Eurostar is not our company to rescue , says Grant Shapps : CityAM

“It’s not our company to rescue – it’s majority owned by the French state. “We’re very, very keen for the Eurostar to survive, and we’ll wait to see the plan [from state rail firm SNCF]”, he added. The government sold its stake in the rail service back in 2015. He added that he was in regular contact with his counterpart in the French government, Jean-Baptiste Djebbari, over the issue. Passenger numbers on the Eurostar have plummeted 95 per cent since March as coronavirus restrictions have battered international travel. The service is currently running just one service a day to both Paris and Amsterdam due to ongoing border controls.

Shapps: HS2 critical unless humans can teleport themselves

He told the Commons Transport Select Committee that “humans will always want to be in touch with humans” and HS2 will be vital “unless we think that people are going to be able to move around in some other form… teleport ourselves or some other way of getting around”. Photo: PA News Mr Shapps cited the pre-pandemic usage of the West Coast Main Line – originally built in the 1930s – as a reason why HS2 will be popular. “I don’t think it’s a stretch to say that I think we will be back to people wanting to meet people and will be very, very grateful in 50 years and 100 years and maybe 200 years that we have that we’ve done this. My view is that we shouldn’t be stopping and switching and changing now.”
