Trenitalia’s Paris–London Train Push Holds for 2029 as UK Rail Upgrades Stack Up
Trenitalia plans to launch Paris–London high-speed rail by 2029 after being denied access to London’s Temple Mills depot, opting to build a new base near Paris. Britain’s rail regulator recently approved Virgin Trains’ access to Temple Mills but rejected bids from Trenitalia and others. FS Group and Certares announced a €1 billion investment for expansion in France and the UK. Network Rail demolished Clifton Bridge over the M6, reopening the motorway ahead of schedule.
