As Nick D7666 wrote in his reply, most current high-speed trainsets
circulating on European continent would meet the safety requirements
of Eurotunnel in regard to be fireproof, power requirements etc.

I haven't the time to trawl the documents myself, but do they permit the
use of a high voltage bus through the train in the tunnel? Both the
conventional TGV and ICE3 designs (AIUI) employ a high voltage bus along
much of the train length.

Yeah, I think you are right -- the ICE-3 do not have the high
voltage line along the whole train, but from car to car, from one
isolator to another. So that may be another issue.
