Eurostar says direct train service between London and Germany and Switzerland will soon be available. According to the company, a fleet of up to 50 new trains, which will cost around €2 billion (£1.7 billion), should be operational by the early 2030s.
It will take around five hours from London to Frankfurt and twenty minutes to get to Geneva. However, there are concerns about the expansion since the company has to ensure that its east London depot has adequate room for additional trains.
Despite the difficulties of rising operating expenses and inflation putting pressure on consumer budgets, Eurostar’s CEO stated that there remained a considerable demand for train travel throughout Europe.
Gwendoline Cazenave, the company’s CEO, declared that “a new golden age of international sustainable travel is here,” noting that passengers wanted to “go further by rail than ever before.”
The new trains’ debut will result in 30% more trains serving London, replacing some older ones. Additionally, the company is preparing for the anticipated new fleet to serve a direct route from Amsterdam and Brussels to Geneva. It stated that it was collaborating with partners to launch the new ranges.
