  "account": "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.",
