Direct Eurostar services to resume between the Netherlands and the UK next year
While outbound London-Amsterdam services have continued to operate unaffected, return services have since mid-June required a halt at Brussels Midi station before heading onwards to London St Pancras International.
This owes to a reduction in space and facilities at Amsterdam Centraal to complete passenger pre-boarding security and border checks.
The disruption had been expected to last for a full year, but it has now been confirmed direct services from Amsterdam to London will resume from 10 February 2025.
Eurostar services are continuing to operate to all stations on international high speed lines in northern France, Belgium and the Netherlands, which also serve Lille and Paris.
The new date was confirmed in a joint statement from Eurostar, NS Dutch Railways, Dutch rail infrastructure body Prorail and Dutch minister for the environment and transport Chris Jansen, which hailed the breakthrough “a strong statement of commitment” to international connectivity and sustainable travel.
