does anyone know if TGVs or ICEs will ever visit these shores now that
there is a UIC gauge route the whole way?

The Eurostar trains _are_ a variant of TGV, and the ICE-3 are in
doubt since the full length train of two EMUs does not have a corridor
between the two trainsets.

But, as debated many times, the main issue is the security
requirements which make anything beyond a simply shuttle service
between London on the island, and Lille, Brussels, and Paris on the
continent economically not feasable.
