remarked:
The management contract is between Eurostar (UK) Ltd (EUKL) and
Intercapital and Regional Railways Ltd (ICRR). EUKL is 100% owned by
L&CR. In how far is EUKL a "multinational quasi-public sector
company"?

My understanding is that L&CR is nationalised in all but name, and one
of the shareholders is SNCF.
