    It's already been ruled out, Eurostar apparently doesn't want to license. Also, the route is mostly tunnels ( around 30 minutes under the English Channel alone) which would be off-putting.

    yes, but! it is still several years ahead, but Virgin Trains gained license for the tunnel service... so who knows, maybe if TSW is still alive and kicking a few years into the future, we might finally get the channel route :D

    Either way Eurostar license might be expensive

    Fair point. They'd probably be more willing if they wanted to one up the competition.

    20min underneath the sea in a tunnel.... I love that #NOT And then asking 40 pounds.... Easy money for DTG hehehe And don't forget with the best light baking that we have seen on Mannheim Kaiserslautern.... So no better no Eurostar is my advise!

    Licensing aside it would be an incredibly boring experience. Whether it’s LGV, SEHS or SKW high speed in a train sim is just not that exciting.

    If DTG were to open up more of France I would prefer to see a Classic era non TGV/Eurostar route.

    Describe exactly how amazing it would be to be in a tunnel non-stop for about half an hour. (Clue: it wouldn't be.)
