If the project goes ahead, services will initially operate between London St Pancras, Paris and Brussels.

Gemini Trains joins two other operators also proposing services through the Channel Tunnel Virgin Trains and Spains Evolyn, according to businesstraveller.com .

21st Europe has announced plans to launch a new rail network connecting 39 destinations in Europe, including the UK, Turkey and Ukraine.
