Eurostar Introduces High-Speed Train from London to Amsterdam

Feature

European train giant Eurostar has connected countries by rail for more than 20 years, most notably among major cities like London, Paris, Brussels and Marseille. The latest European hotspot to be served by Eurostar is Amsterdam, scheduled to begin via the company’s high-speed model at the end of 2017.

In less than four hours, passengers will be able to travel between London and Amsterdam, with a second Dutch route also in the planning stages between the English capital and Rotterdam, the Netherlands.

With the eruption of low-cost airlines in Europe, like RyanAir, EasyJet and Norwegian Air, Eurostar has been forced to look for ways to attract customers that once chose train travel over air travel because of its convenience and price.

Eurostar served Amsterdam in the past, but the trip required passengers to change trains in Brussels, extending the travel time to 4.5 hours. The new, direct, high-speed journey will cut travel time by 30 minutes.
