Eurostar launches its new state-of-the-art e320 trains on the London-Brussels route

Eurostar, the high-speed rail service between the UK and mainland Europe, previewed its new e320 train on the London-Brussels route in advance of its introduction into service on Sunday 28^th May.

The arrival of the new trains on the Brussels service includes 17 new e320 trains and the refurbishment of its original trains.

Significant investment in the London-Brussels route
Designed by the world-famous Italian design house, Pininfarina, renowned for its iconic car designs, the e320 boasts 20 per cent more capacity than the original Eurostar trains.  With a bold design, chic interiors as well as Wi-Fi connectivity and 300 hours of on-board entertainment streamed to customers’ personal devices, the new trains provide an unprecedented level of style and comfort.

The introduction of the e320 on the London-Brussels service also follows an extensive renovation of the Eurostar terminal in Brussels Midi.  This has created an expanded departure area and a more efficient check-in space which will be further enhanced by the introduction of facial recognition e-passport gate technology for the peak summer holiday period.
