Richard Branson's Virgin Group plans to order 12 high-speed trains to compete with Evolyn and Eurostar for cross-Channel travel. The order is valued at over £500m, with Branson expected to be a major stakeholder. The project aims to enhance competition and improve services for passengers. Eurostar, currently monopolizing the route, opposes new entrants due to capacity issues at Temple Mills depot. Virgin Group is optimistic about securing a foothold in the high-speed train network.
