‘We’ve
seen
amazing
momentum
since
we
began launching
new
modes
of
transport
in
the
UK,
and
this
collaboration
with
Gemini
Trains
is
our
latest step
in
how
we’re
helping
people
get
where
they
want
to
go.
We’re
excited
about
the
opportunity
to bring
our
brand
to
the
iconic
Channel
Tunnel
journey.’

Gemini
Trains
CEO
Andrew
Quine
said:
‘Innovation
and
value
are
at
the
very
heart
of
what
we
do
so
it’s
really
exciting
to
be
teaming
up
with
Uber,
an
instantly
recognisable
global
brand
which
has revolutionised
the
travel
industry.
Now
passengers
will
be
able
to
enjoy
the
same
value
and
comfort on
brand
new
“cutting
edge”
trains
at
the
touch
of
a
button.’

Gemini’s
plans
have
already
intensified
competition
for
paths
from
London
through
the
Channel
Tunnel.
A
debate
over
the
capacity
of
Temple
Mills
depot
has
not
yet
been
resolved,
while
the
capacity
of
the
terminus
at
St
Pancras,
which
has
six
international
platforms,
is
also
limited.

Other
contenders
who
hope
to
provide
competition
for
Eurostar
include
Virgin
Trains
and
Spanish
operator
Evolyn,
in
partnership
with
Italian
Trenitalia.
