I didn't know that Eurostar had tried to operate any kind of 'corridor' train, particularly a Freight train [in your example A1 to A2 via B]? Not sure that any of the issues that Eurostar have pertains to 'corridor' trains?
For the avoidance of doubt, a 'corridor' train is one that travels from one part of a country to another, via a second country, sealed and without border checks. In the case Ireland to Europe, this could only apply to freight traffic in the EU single market, as Ireland and Europe are not in the same Immigration zones for passenger traffic.
