Expanding HS1 - Steer Davis Gleave

[popeter45]

i would love to see some business study into further away locations for eurostar / another operator
Berlin/Barcelona/Rome would be interesting to actually see what the demand could be but with how long the trips would be (10+ hours) i cants see them being attractive unless eurostar went and bought some high speed sleeper trains like what china has with the CRH1E and CRH2E
too expand capacity for HS1 domestic services i could see something like captive double Decker units that run a St pancreas-Ashford Shuttle to then change for local services?

This report *is* that study, and has identified the biggest markets for use of finite capacity.
