Uber has announced plans for a cross-channel train service through a new co-branding partnership with Gemini Trains.

Gemini Trains will be responsible for operating the trains, whilst Uber will co-brand the service with passengers able to book tickets through the Uber app.

The train service will run between London, Paris and Brussels via the Channel Tunnel.

It is expected that the service will run with 10 newly designed trains.

“We’ve seen amazing momentum since we began launching new modes of transport in the UK, and this collaboration with Gemini Trains is our latest step in how we’re helping people get where they want to go. We’re excited about the opportunity to bring our brand to the iconic Channel Tunnel journey.”

Andrew Brem, General Manager, Uber UK

“Innovation and value are at the very heart of what we do so it’s really exciting to be teaming up with Uber, an instantly recognisable global brand which has revolutionised the travel industry. Now passengers will be able to enjoy the same value and comfort on brand new ‘cutting edge’ trains at the touch of a button”.

Adrian Quine, CEO, Gemini
