 House of Commons - Environment, Transport and Regional Affairs - Appendices to the Minutes of Evidence
Eurostar Train Sets are high speed International trains built to operate between the UK and mainland Europe through the Channel Tunnel; they comprise Regional Train Sets (which were designed and built to be capable of operating beyond London) and Intercapital Train Sets (which are not generally capable of operating beyond London).
Eurostar UK Ltd., (EUKL) is a subsidiary of LCR which together with the national railways of France (SNCF) and Belgium (SNCB) forms an international grouping under EU Regulation 91/440 to operate the Eurostar train services.
Regional Eurostar's share of the regional market would be dependent on its competitive position against other modes (rail, air, coach or car) on journey times, frequency and fares which are the main criteria passengers typically use to decide on their mode of transport.

 House of Commons Hansard Debates for 19 May 1999 (pt 11)
However, I assure the House that, although the trains are owned by Eurostar (UK) Ltd. and decisions on their use fall to the company, the Government have agreements in place that prevent assets from being used outside the Eurostar business without the consent of the Secretary of State.
Decisions on the deployment of Eurostar drivers are, of course, a matter for the management of Eurostar (UK) Ltd. However, I have been assured by the company that its action in no way prejudges the outcome of the review.
The problem was that, at that point, LCR, which owns Eurostar (UK) Ltd., had just told the Government that it could not continue with the channel tunnel rail link project, and Eurostar did not have sufficient money to fund its portion of the lease termination costs.

The rights of Eurostar Diamond Traders NV in respect of the use and registration of the EUROSTAR name are limited by a contract made with the complainant on 14 September 2004.
And, according to article 22.11 of the Regulation, during the same phase the authority of the ADR panel is limited to the decision whether or not a decision taken by the Registry conflicts with Regulations 733/2002 or 874/2004.
This being understood, the Registry considers that the submission of a contract made between Eurostar Diamond Traders NV and the complainant on 14 September 2004 limiting the use of the trademark does not evidence that the application of 7 December 2005 was made in bad faith.

Oracle claims that Eurostar is only one of some 25 companies that have participated in a global, six month beta-test program, and the first to publicly declare its intention to go live with the new technology.
