Eurostar to resume direct Amsterdam-London trains in early 2025

Rail operator Eurostar has announced that its direct train services from Amsterdam to London will resume operating from mid-February.

Eurostar has been forced to operate services from Amsterdam to London via Brussels since June due to the redevelopment of Amsterdam’s Amsterdam Centraal station. Although direct London-Amsterdam services have continued to operate as normal.

The cross-border train operator has now revealed the return of the direct Amsterdam-London service from 10 February 2025 following the completion of the new terminal in Amsterdam. The train operator will also continue to serve routes from Amsterdam to Paris and Brussels.

Gwendoline Cazenave, Eurostar’s CEO, said: “Eurostar is fully committed to a bright future in the Netherlands and we thank our partners NS and Prorail for their work with us to ensure direct services to London could return and those to Paris and Brussels could continue.

“We look forward to the opening of the new Amsterdam terminal, which is going to offer more space and an exceptional experience for customers.”   

Wouter Koolmees, CEO of NS Dutch Railways, added: “Direct Eurostar trains from Amsterdam to London is excellent news for our passengers and a significant contribution to realising climate goals.

“In combination with the new and enlarged check-in terminal in Amsterdam we can offer this direct connection to more passengers than before.”

Currently Eurostar’s Amsterdam-London services include a 48-minute stop in Brussels Midi/Zuid station to carry out formalities such as passenger processing and customs checks.
