While SNCF's 55% subsidiary is currently operating only seven round trips a day between Paris and London as a result of the health crisis, Renfe considers that \".\u00a0there are currently slots available and the capacity to operate on this high-speed line<\/em>\" . Negotiations are underway with Getlink<\/strong> (formerly Eurotunnel), which manages the Channel Tunnel, as well as with the French and British high-speed line operators. It believes that it will be able to start its service with seven daily rotations<\/strong> with its own high-speed trains<\/strong> before step up a gear<\/strong> if the fills are there. The profitability<\/strong> would be reached at the end of the fourth year of operation<\/strong> according to the business plan, which provides for a second phase of development. \"\u00a0In a second phase, the service could be extended to new French and international destinations<\/strong><\/em>\" says Renfe. The opening date of the Paris-London service is not yet known. not specified<\/strong> at this stage.<\/p>\n\n\n
