SOME EUROSTAR NEWS

Eurostar announced a new direct return service from Amsterdam to London starting on the 30th April. The service will run twice daily taking around 4 hours and 10 minutes with a stop in Brussels. It is expected that these trains will also serve Rotterdam from the 18th May.

AND WE HAVE BEEN NOTICED IN THE PRESS !!

Our letter to the New European titled “Back on the Rails” was published on 13th February. We were able to explain the outcome of our January meetings in Brussels and publicise the planned October “Back-on-track” conference – also in Brussels.

One of our members also had a letter published in the Financial Times on the same day titled “Couchettes may be key to making sleeper affordable”. He made several suggestions as to how Night Train services could be made more attractive for the leisure and tourist markets.
