2021: Year of the International Train

Direct Eurostar connection to London

Testing, testing, testing. We did this extensively in 2020 to ensure that the new direct connection from Amsterdam to London ran smoothly. Especially when it came to check-in and passport control. After the necessary delays, the departure whistle for the very first direct Eurostar from Amsterdam to London sounded on 26 October 2020. The train now runs every day. As soon as corona permits, more trains will depart daily. Hopefully, you will also choose Eurostar (again) in 2021. Compared to the plane, a journey from Amsterdam to London emits 80% less CO2!

Take the train to Lyon and Oberhausen

Research shows that the shopping city Oberhausen and the Burgundian Lyon are top-notch destinations. Many people travel to these places but do so mainly by car or by plane. Did you know that the train is a very suitable and sustainable alternative for such a short international journey? You will travel more comfortably, easily and often faster. In the Year of the International Train we thought it was worth considering! From Amsterdam you can travel to Oberhausen in less than 2 hours with ICE International for as little as € 19. To Lyon, it takes 5h43m for just € 73 one-way.

Flexible booking

It seems that we are still living in uncertain times. We think it is important that you can rebook tickets easily and free of charge if the situation so requires. That is why, together with our partners, we have temporarily eased the conditions for rebooking many fares. This allows you to change booked tickets for many fares free of charge. This also applies to journeys you book in the coming year.
