London St Pancras Highspeed, which owns the station and the high-speed tracks to the Channel Tunnel, said it wants to encourage “new and existing train operators” to open new routes.
Robert Sinclair, the former’s chief executive, said the companies will “actively work together to encourage new and existing train operators to expand capacity and launch new destinations unlocking the potential of a fully connected Europe”.
Direct international train services between London and destinations such as Germany and Switzerland could be launched amid plans to boost the capacity of St Pancras station.
Getlink chief executive Yann Leriche said: “We are keen to drive forward attractive opportunities for low-carbon mobility with a range of new destinations in Germany, Switzerland and France.
It dropped direct services between London and Disneyland Paris in June 2023, and no longer operates trains between London and the south of France.
