VTE HOLDINGS LIMITED’S (VTE) APPLICATION FOR DIRECTIONS UNDER
SECTION 17 OF THE RAILWAYS ACT 1993 FOR ACCESS TO TEMPLE MILLS
INTERNATIONAL DEPOT
1. As set out in our letter of 5 June 2025, we are now writing to invite a reply from
VTE Holdings Limited (VTE). This follows the publication on the Office of Rail and
Road’s (ORR) website of the further information, clarification and representations
regarding the use of capacity at Temple Mills International depot (TMI) submitted
by each of the applicants and by Eurostar International Limited (Eurostar).
2. The purpose of this step in the process is to allow VTE and the other applicants
to provide comments on Eurostar’s submission and these will be considered as
part of ORR’s assessment. Similarly, Eurostar will be invited to comment on the
submission of each applicant.
3. It is a matter for each applicant if they wish to comment on submissions from the
other applicants. However, this is not part of ORR’s assessment process and ORR
is not inviting such comments.
4. Eurostar has provided information regarding its planned future use of the available
capacity at TMI. ORR is now inviting VTE to reply to Eurostar’s submission, details
of which can be accessed using the link below.

interest and received replies from the Department for Transport and from Kent
