  EUKL is a 100% subsidiary of LCR (London & Continental Railways, in 
this context), and LCR is owned mainly by the companies which are 
LCR's clients for the building of the CTRL (now renamed HS1), i.e. the
partners in the consortium RLE (Rail Link Engineering): Bechtel, Arup,
Systra, and Halcrow; other shareholdes of LCR are UBS, EDF Energy, 
SNCF, and the National Express Group. 

  The various companies who own the CTRL and the Ebbsfleet, Stratford 
Int'l, and St. Pancras stations are also 100% subsidiaries of LCR. 

  And how long is ICRR's contract?

  The administration contract with 'Inter-Capital and Regional Rail 
Ltd' (ICRR) runs thru 2010. Three more years...

  Who will be the UK DfT's candidates for buying all that?
