Eurostar is adding a fifth daily direct return service from the UK to Amsterdam from December 15.

It comes after the opening of the new cross-channel terminal in Amsterdam in February this year, which allowed Eurostar to triple its capacity on the route from 275 passengers in 2024 to more than 650 passengers per train at the end of this year.

Between London and Amsterdam, 15% of passengers in 2024 – approximately 130,000 travellers – were business customers, highlighting the importance of this route for corporate connectivity. 

With this upgrade, the terminal will operate at full capacity.

“London to Amsterdam is one of the busiest routes by plane in Europe. With five daily returns, and 3000+ seats per day, we are offering a sustainable alternative to travel between the UK and the Netherlands,” said Gwendoline Cazenave, CEO of Eurostar.

“Since February, we’ve seen exceptional demand on our Amsterdam route, and the addition of a fifth daily service gives customers more choice and flexibility.”
