Virgin secured pre-approval from UK regulator ORR for Channel Tunnel track access, planning 20 daily services to Paris, Brussels, and Amsterdam from 2030, breaking Eurostar's monopoly since 1994. This could lower fares and promote air-to-rail shift, but analysts note ~36% of traffic is connecting passengers who must still fly. Virgin's edge includes its Virgin Red loyalty ecosystem and secured access to Temple Mills depot.
