Eurostar launching new direct train route between UK and Belgium
- Eurostar is launching a new direct rail service from London St Pancras to Antwerp-Centraal, Belgium, commencing on 14 December.
- Up to four daily trains, which currently operate between London and Amsterdam, will incorporate this new direct connection.
- The direct route will only be available for the outward journey from London. According to Eurostar, there are no current plans to introduce a direct return service as “this would require dedicated UK border and customs facilities at Antwerp-Centraal”.
- Passengers travelling can book a combined SNCB and Eurostar ticket, connecting via Brussels-Midi for border and security checks.
- Eurostar said: “Adding Antwerp as a direct stop on our London-Amsterdam services will make journeys to the city quicker and more convenient, providing customers with a more comfortable city centre to city centre travel experience.”
