Credited from: THEGUARDIAN

  • The **Office of Rail and Road (ORR)** has mandated **HS1 Ltd** to implement a **£5m annual reduction** in charges for using its rail line until 2030.
  • This decision aims to facilitate **competition for Eurostar**, which currently monopolizes international train services from Great Britain.
  • Two companies, **Evolyn** and **Heuro**, are interested in introducing rival services, potentially reducing fares for passengers.
  • The **ORR** indicated that the charge cuts would also **benefit passengers**, as the costs for renewing tracks and stations are being lowered.
  • **HS1 Ltd** considers this a positive step toward growth and is optimistic about enhancing services on the rail line.
