Coming in 2010 - yes - Air France is going into the rail business. The Euro Tunnel is going to open up to rail competition under laws providing for 'open access' starting in 2010. According to a story posted on webinfrance.com , Air France will begin a service between London and Paris over the same tracks as those used by Eurostar currently. Future routes are also planned. According to the story the new service will be even faster using new generation trains.
A little competition is always a good thing for consumers, but whether this actually comes to pass is another question.
Regarding the current services, Eurostar has been somewhat disrupted since the fire in the tunnel last month. Here is a link for updated information on schedules and info.
