Eurostar announced plans to introduce direct train services linking London with Frankfurt and Geneva starting in the early 2030s, aiming to meet growing demand. The London-Frankfurt route is expected to take roughly five hours, while the London-Geneva journey will be approximately five hours and 20 minutes. The new services will rely on a £1.7 billion investment in a new fleet of 50 trains. Eurostar's CEO expressed ambition for enhancing travel options for passengers, while government officials stress the importance of promoting green travel and international connectivity.
We're seeing strong demand for train travel across Europe, with customers wanting to go further by rail than ever before and enjoy the unique experience we provide. "Despite the challenging economic climate, Eurostar is growing and has bold ambitions for the future. "Our new fleet will make new destinations for customers a reality - notably direct trains between London and Germany and between London and Switzerland for the first time. "A new golden age of international sustainable travel is here.
I am pleased to welcome this exciting investment into Eurostar services, which is a huge step in promoting green travel across Europe and boosting our international rail connections.
