Heurotrain commissioned GoLink Advisory Group to deliver detailed infrastructure operating costs for its proposed high-speed open access services between Amsterdam, London, and Paris, spanning five infrastructure managers: HS1, Eurotunnel, SNCF Réseau, Infrabel, and ProRail.

The GoLink team reviewed each manager’s Network Statement including French, Belgian, and Dutch sources to forecast track and station access assumptions accurately.

Using rolling stock inputs and official data, the team calculated energy costs per kilometre and complex HSL Levy charges for ProRail’s high-speed lines between Amsterdam and Breda.

GoLink’s detailed cost outputs were subsequently incorporated into Heurotrain’s financial model, to support a major equity and debt funding round for fleet procurement and business development.
