Eurostar a annoncé le 31 octobre que son service de trains à grande vitesse entre Amsterdam et Londres, suspendu depuis le 15 juin, reprendrait début 2025.
Having travelled on both old and new Eurostar units between London and France (in what was Standard Premier), I much prefer the older units; far more comfortable and smooth running. The E320s might be light and airy but they just feel like any other high speed train. The original units felt, somehow, special and unique.

hey mr railway ive been watching u since they silver metoer to mia youve come all this way to make everyones day and im proud that u didnt stop making videos have a great day.
Rode Eurostar from London to Amsterdam earlier this week in standard class. The train was nice and efficient but the seat was uncomfortable. Couldn't wait to get off.
Fantastic video as always! I must say that the trains shake much less in the UK on HS1 and in Belgium on HSL compared to the high-speed line in France. YEurostar have improved their on board catering especially in Eurostar plus. I actually enjoy their meals now 😂
Wow so they have the e320 running between Paris and Brussels now I didn't think Eurostar had the passenger count to warrant running them. Color me very impressed
The Siemens e320 EMUs are equipped to Eurotunnel standards, with almost 400 meters between each communication branch, watertight and designed to withstand fire and noxious fumes for half an hour. The train's batteries are designed to enable it to exit the tunnel in the event of a catenary failure. The TGV 3800(PBA) & 4300(PBKA) were not designed for this Channel crossing, and since October 2023 have been called Eurostar trains, Eurostar Red, Eurostar Snow, Eurostar Sun. In 1987, a political decision in Brussels gave birth to the LGV Nord Europe. The project came to fruition in 1996 with the Thalys TGV under the name of West Rail International, a cooperative company under Belgian law owned by SNCF and operated jointly with 4 rail operators: SNCF, SNCB, DB and NS. In 2015, following double competition between DB Fernverkehr and Thalys on the same lines, Deutsche Bahn sold its 10% stake to the new holding company THI Factory: SNCF 60% and SNCB 40% in partnership with NS. Thalys is 100% owned by the THI Factory holding company. In 2022, Eurostar Ltd and THI Factory (Thalys) merge to form a holding company, the Eurostar Group, owned 100% by Eurostar Ltd and 100% by THI Factory, which previously owned 100% of Thalys. SNCF Voyageurs is the majority shareholder, with a 55.75% stake. Although the merger has been effective since 2022, it had been planned for 2019, but poor results following a 95% drop in traffic, and a failed turnaround despite the modernization of Thalys trains, almost made the name and the trains disappear, which would have been the worst-case scenario as Eurostar Ltd was also in the red. Eurostar is much more promising than the Thalys name, acquired by a holding company created in 2022 which owns 100% of Eurostar. Following this Thalys merger, approved by the European Commission, a holding company, Eurostar Group, was created. Eurostar Group is backed by SNCF (55.75%), CDQP (19.31%), SNCB (18.5%) and Federated Hermes Infrastructure (6.44%). Eurostar is majority-owned by SNCF voyages, whose president Gwendoline Cazenave is the former head of SNCF voyages, the SNCF subsidiary that runs the TGV à Oui. In 2015, British Rail sold its assets to CDQP, the Caisse de dépôt et placement du Québec and Federated Hermes Infrastructure. CDQP is Alstom's main shareholder!
What an upgrade! An increase in capacity for this route was much needed. 👌🏻
Yes, the old Thalys sets are showing their age and are always overcrowded. Nice to see the E320 operate this route.
Eurostar announced on 31 October that its high-speed train service between Amsterdam and London, suspended since 15 June, would resume in early 2025.

Eurostar trains are some of the best trains on the planet. Comfortable, fast and with a great service.
Hey man. That train was epic. Good luck on your to Brussels, Belgium. You the Best.

Great video.
6:43 hello!
wow! This is good!
Great video! 🤩
Whoosh Whoosh ,,,, Yessssssssssss
Before watching this video I thought the E320 was used solely on cross-Channel services.
It was.
Fantastic video as always! I must say that the trains shake much less in the UK on HS1 and in Belgium on HSL compared to the high-speed line in France. YEurostar have improved their on board catering especially in Eurostar plus. I actually enjoy their meals now 😂
Shame they can’t plop an ex-Thalys TGV set on the London route.
Wow so they have the e320 running between Paris and Brussels now I didn't think Eurostar had the passenger count to warrant running them. Color me very impressed
04:25 Wow, the train even has on-board entertainment/performers.
TMST are the best ! TMST > Velaro
Thybault sir, I was really impressed with he fresh food and service even though I would have preferred to eating it in a dining car !
08:57 A succulent French meal? Thish ishh Eurostar manifessht!
Boa tarde simplys Boa viagem trem eurosta
ca fait longtemps qu'ils ont mis en place ce train sur la ligne paris gare du nord brussel non ?
It's not brussels it is brussel!
Great video😊😊
In English we say Brussels, not Brussel or Bruxelles.
Never done premier, done standard Premier (I think it's called), I prefer ES over flying
Good morning. Can you make a video on the Paris to London Eurostar journey please?
There are plenty of videos on RUclips.
Good video but I’m knew here. No narration?
The velaro trains are a real upgrade compared to the narrow PBKA. They should consider buying them when they scrap PBKA trains.

The seats don't look that great
J'ai essayé de répéter le tour de cette vidéo, et maintenant j'ai un nouveau rêve : ne plus jamais essayer de répéter des tours sur Internet😛
Great video.
