If Getlink charge by the passenger then it might actually end up being lower because they don't have to fill as many seats. Track access charges of HS1 might offset this potential benefit though. Seven coaches is the standard off-shelf configuration for New Pendolino trains with roughly 26m coaches, but I imagine being combined with the AGV into the Avelia platform it'll end up being longer. Probably eight 25m coaches to form a full 200m long train as is standard.
It’s really just the Channel tunnel itself with that odd method of calculating track charges, as everything around it charges by the KM. LGV nord, High speed 1, HSL-1, HSL-Zuid etc.
