Two trains per day are to leave St Pancras for the three hour journey to the Dutch city
The launch of the new London to Amsterdam service not only provides a fast, point-to-point link with The Netherlands, it also heralds a record new journey time for those passengers travelling on the London to Brussels section of the route.
The chief executive of Eurostar, Nicholas Petrovic, declared:
'The launch of our service to the Netherlands represents an exciting advance in cross-Channel travel and heralds a new era in international high-speed rail.
'With direct services from the UK to the Netherlands, France and Belgium, we are transforming the links between the UK and three of Europe’s top trading nations.
'Our new route marks the culmination of the extensive investment in high-speed rail on both sides of the Channel.'
