Stars
ElecLink Interconnector
ElecLink is a Star: a high-growth, high-margin interconnector linking France and Great Britain, crucial for cross-border electricity trade and grid stability.
After exceptional 2023–24 peaks, revenue normalised in 2025 but margins stayed above 60% on transport EBITDA, supported by low operating costs and long-term contracts.
By Nov 2025 ElecLink had pre-sold ~70% of 2026 capacity and ~45% of 2027, locking multi‑year revenues exceeding £120m across those years and confirming its growth trajectory.
Eurostar High-Speed Rail Network
In 2025 the Eurostar high-speed passenger rail segment is a Star: traffic rose 5% year-over-year and Amsterdam Centraal reopened, boosting cross-border services and pushing Eurostar ridership toward 22 million annual passengers.
Getlink, as infrastructure manager, recorded a 7% rise in track-access revenues and higher frequency slots, benefiting from three new international operators entering routes.
Eco-conscious travelers shifting from air to rail helped rail modal share grow to 18% on key corridors, keeping Eurostar dominant and supporting above-market margin expansion.
Getlink Customs Services (GCS)
Getlink Customs Services (GCS) is a high-growth Star after Getlink’s late-2025 acquisition of Customs 4 All (C4A), driving combined annualised revenue to ~€45m and 28% YoY growth in 2025; transaction added 120 clients and strengthened first-to-market smart-border tech.
GCS ties customs formalities to transport, capturing cross-Channel demand from post-Brexit complexity; market share rose to ~22% in UK-France corridors and EBITDA margin improved to ~18% in H2 2025.
Sustainable Mobility Solutions
Getlink’s low-carbon transport focus positions it as a high-growth brand leader in Europe’s ESG investment space, driven by rising demand for decarbonized logistics and passenger flows.
Its ability to issue green bonds—notably the €600 million green bond in January 2025—signals strong market confidence and lowers long-term financing costs for modal-shift infrastructure.
Regulatory tightening and corporate net-zero targets are expanding addressable demand; Getlink’s rail and tunnel assets capture increasing freight volumes and premium pricing for low-emission corridors.
- €600m green bond issued Jan 2025
- High ESG investor demand across EU markets
- Growing regulatory push for decarbonized supply chains
- Premium pricing for low-carbon transport routes
Digital Infrastructure and AI Integration
Getlink has poured ~€120m into AI and digital maintenance since 2020, cutting planned downtime by 22% and lowering maintenance OPEX by an estimated €15m annually, turning these tools into high-growth internal products that boost long-term margins.
Leading in rail-tech keeps Getlink’s tunnel assets the most reliable UK–Continent link, supporting a 6% annual traffic resilience gain and protecting €3.4bn in core revenue exposure.
- €120m invested since 2020
- 22% reduced downtime
- €15m annual OPEX savings
- 6% traffic resilience gain
- €3.4bn core revenue protected

Cash Cows
LeShuttle Passenger Service
LeShuttle Passenger Service is the cash cow for Getlink, holding a 56.1% market share in car transport across the Short Straits at end-2025 and generating steady high-volume cash flow.
Operating in a mature market, it needs relatively low capex to maintain share; in FY2025 it contributed roughly €420m EBITDA to the Group, funding diversification and debt servicing.
Eurotunnel Infrastructure Concession
As holder of the Channel Tunnel concession until 2086, Getlink operates a near-monopolistic infrastructure asset generating predictable cash flows; in 2024 Eurotunnel Infrastructure reported regulated revenues of €370m and EBITDA of €280m, underpinning Group liquidity.
The unit collects access charges from operators such as Eurostar and rail freight firms, with 2024 traffic of 8.9m vehicles and 16.4m passengers providing steady long-term income.
High barriers to entry, fixed-capacity economics, and a long concession make Eurotunnel Infrastructure Getlink’s primary cash cow, funding investments and dividends while reducing earnings volatility.
Europorte Rail Freight
Europorte, Getlink’s mature rail-freight arm, posted record 2025 revenues of €520m, driven by high-value niches such as petrochemicals and grain, and delivered a margin above 14%, supporting Group EBITDA targets.
LeShuttle Freight (Truck Shuttles)
LeShuttle Freight (truck shuttles) holds ~36% market share in the cross-Channel truck market in 2025, despite a sluggish trade environment, and remains a mature, cash-generating service for Getlink.
Its speed and reliability continue to beat ferry competitors, keeping load factors near 85% and underpinning steady EBITDA contribution—about 40% of Getlink group EBITDA in 2024.
- 36% market share (2025)
- Load factor ~85%
- ~40% of group EBITDA (2024)
- Outperforms ferries on speed/reliability
Railway Network Access Services
Railway Network Access Services deliver predictable, low-cost cash flows from fixed Tunnel fees charged to national and international operators; these fees kept utilization steady and margins high in 2025.
This segment grew revenue 4% in 2025, reinforcing its role as a cash cow—infrastructure already exists, so incremental marketing and capex are minimal, yielding very high operating margins.
- 2025 revenue growth: +4%
- Revenue type: fixed access fees
- Margins: very high (minimal incremental cost)
- Capex/marketing: negligible
