Message from our Chief Executive, Richard Brown

Richard Brown, Chief Executive
23 February 2009
 
I’m delighted to announce that today marks the return to our full timetable following the fire on a Eurotunnel freight shuttle last September.
 
This means we are now back up to full speed and again able to offer our fastest journey times of London – Paris 2h15, London – Brussels 1h51 and London – Lille 1h20. What’s more our services are again more frequent, with up to 19 trains per day on the London – Paris route and up to 10 per day on the London – Brussels route.
 
We’re also again able to offer trains which arrive in their destination before 09:00 local time, allowing business travellers to enjoy a full day of productivity without the cost of an overnight stay. Moreover the return to full capacity in the tunnel means a return to our usual high levels of punctuality.
 
I’m sure this will come as welcome news to all of you, and I would like to thank you again for your patience and understanding during the last few months.
 
Yours faithfully,
 
Richard Brown
