Pros

• Mitigation of slot congestion More slots available for long haul flights

Cons
•Increased competition for short haul carriersFew such carriers at CDG •Lack of train frequenciesLong transit time at the airport (example : only 5 trains per day for BDX)
• No single ticket and baggage through check-in for intermodal journeyLack of coordination between train and air services schedule.

New or improved services with the extension of the HST train network : - Strasbourg at 2h20 by 2007- Amsterdam at 3h30 in 2007- London (by Eurostar) at 2h20 in 2010 ?- Rennes (Brittany) at 2h35 by 2011 - Bordeaux at 3h35 by 2015
More train stops :A 4 tracks station (with a possible 5th for Eurostar) = large capacity availableAt least twice more trains at Paris-CDG airport in 2020Long term station capacity = up to 150 trains / day
HST Traffic forecast : Conservative estimate : 4,5 M Pax by 2020 (20% of airport connecting traffic) Long term potential : up to 7.5 M pax
