Eurotunnel holds the Concession for the Channel Tunnel until 2086. The Tunnel is the fastest, most reliable, easiest and most environmentally-friendly transport system for crossing the Strait of Dover.
These intrinsic strengths, combined with the know-how of our teams, underpin the Group’s commercial and operational success: in little more than 15 years, 250 million passengers and 50 million vehicles (including 15 million heavy goods vehicles) have used this vital land connection, which has become an essential link between the United Kingdom and the Continent.
Eurotunnel is moving forward with an ambitious strategy which combines the development of our core business, cross-Channel transport, with external growth looking beyond the Tunnel, in our two main businesses and areas of expertise: infrastructure management and railway operations.
An investment stock for the future, Eurotunnel is building a Group based on the strengths of infrastructure concessionaires – particularly recurrent cash flow – and ready to capitalise on the opportunities for sustainable growth that open up as increasing importance is placed on environmental issues.
Eurotunnel operates the Channel Tunnel infrastructure and makes available paths to train operators who are licensed to operate cross-channel railfreight services.
Railway operators wishing to use the Channel Tunnel will find the access conditions in the Network Statements of Eurotunnel:
