Not quite sure what to make of this, but I suppose it's possible that Eurostar have indeed won the bid.
Without wanting to spark up another debate about privatisation/nationalisation, I've always been against the idea of reprivatising the line. In my experience, East Coast have been better than National Express, and EC have continuously made a decent profit which of course goes straight to the Government rather than private stakeholders.
