HC Deb 29 November 2001 vol 375 c1058W
Mr. Don Foster

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, Local Government and the Regions what track access charges have been paid by Eurostar for use of tracks(a) between Waterloo and the Channel Tunnel, (b) within the Channel Tunnel, (c) on French rail lines and (d) on Belgian rail lines, for each year since the commencement of operations. [15950]

Mr. Jamieson

The Track Access Charges for Eurostar services are commercially sensitive and cannot therefore be made public.

Track Access Charges in France and Belgium are not paid by Eurostar (UK) Ltd. but are dealt with by their business partners, SNCF and SNCB.
