The Cosmen family revive their plan to operate with Trenitalia in the Channel Tunnel
Evolyn, de los fundadores de Alsa, relanza conversaciones para crear una alianza con el gigante italiano tras más de un año de espera. El objetivo es competir con el Eurostars de la gala SNCF. Leer
Evolyn, an operator controlled by the Cosmen family, is accelerating plans to start operating high-speed rail services under the English Channel before 2030, challenging Eurostar's monopoly. Evolyn and Ferrovie dello Stato (FS) signed a memorandum of understanding in April 2025 to explore a strategic alliance in European high-speed rail.
The two companies are expected to discuss the terms of a potential partnership, including the use of rolling stock, when Jorge Cosmen, head of Alsa, meets FS's new CEO Gianpiero Strisciuglio in September. Evolyn has ordered 16 high-speed units from Alstom, valued at over €1,000 million, while FS has opted for Hitachi's Frecciarossa technology, with a recent order for 19 units worth €2,000 million.
