I do not know whether the AGV would be compatible with the UK rail network? And with Eurotunnel heavy operational constraints? I have some doubts.

By the way, may I quote Wikipedia?: (...) In November 2007, various British newspapers reported that Deutsche Bahn, Germany's national train company, had applied to use the Channel Tunnel and High Speed 1 rail line into St Pancras International.[29] This was swiftly denied by Deutsche Bahn; also the bi-national Channel Tunnel Safety Authority confirmed that they had not received such application.
