"French Government Shifts Stance to Allow German Trains Into Channel Tunnel"

"The French government said it won't bar Siemens AG (SIE) trains from the Channel Tunnel if Europe's rail- safety agency backs their introduction, a shift that should clear the way for Deutsche Bahn AG to begin services to London.

France will respect the European Railway Agency's advice on operations planned by the German state railway using a variant of Siemens's InterCityExpress train, said a government official who declined to be identified, citing official policy.

The ICE has motors in each car, a system outlawed under current rules because of a perceived fire risk. Former Transport Minister Dominique Bussereau, replaced by Thierry Mariani late in 2010, had said an order for the trains from incumbent tunnel operator Eurostar Group Ltd. should be dropped for that reason."

First I knew of this.

It's true what they say about the French, isn't it?
