4 October 2021

Eurostar International Ltd has reported a preliminary unaudited operating profit of £57∙6m for 2017.
EUROPE: European high speed operators Eurostar and Thalys confirmed on October 4 that their planned merger announced in September 2019 is on course to be completed ‘within two to three years’, with a formal submission to the European Commission’s competition authority expected in 2022.

However, the Eurostar brand is to be retained for the combined operation, while the Thalys brand will be phased out. Responding to reports in French and Belgian media, Thalys spokesman Mattias Baertsoen confirmed that some significant steps remained to be completed, including approval of the merger by the Commission.22 hours ago
