The future of European travel
This year, Eurostar unveiled the first
of its fleet of brand new trains. With
more seats, onboard Wi-Fi and a
totally revolutionised bar buffet, the
new trains have been created with
Pininfarina, the design house behind
Ferrari’s unique style. The new trains
will even be faster, running at up to
320 km/h and taking 15 minutes off
your journey. Meanwhile, in December,
tickets went on sale for Eurostar’s new
route to the South of France, stopping
at Lyon, Avignon and Marseille all year
round from May 2015. On the horizon
in 2016 is the launch of Eurostar’s new
direct route to Amsterdam, taking
travellers right to the heart of the
Netherlands in just four hours.
