EUROSTAR has reached agreement with Netherlands Railways (NS) to launch a service between London and Amsterdam starting in December 2016 as part of a package of measures announced by the Dutch cabinet on September 27 following the withdrawal of the V250 Fyra trains. Eurostar will operate two trains a day in each direction using its new e320 multi-system trains on order from Siemens. The trains will call at Brussels Midi, the current terminus for Eurostar services from London, Antwerp, Rotterdam and Schiphol Airport with a London Amsterdam journey time of four hours.
