Here are the facts gas out Eurostar via photos and websites.
The origins of Eurostar can be traced back to 1986. Construction began in 1988 and it was completed in the early 90s at the Channel Tunnel to connect direct trains from the UK to mainland Europe. The idea of the Channel Tunnel can be traced back to early 1800s in the 19th century. There was even an attempt to build the Channel Tunnel but it was not successful. Good for the UK & France to digging the tunnel in 1990 as it was a historic moment.
Eurostar used to terminate at London Waterloo station until 2007.
Since then, it have been terminating at London St Pancras station. When the cross channel train service started, it was from London to Paris and Brussels.🇬🇧🇫🇷🇧🇪 In the recent years before the pandemic, in 2018, Amsterdam 🇳🇱 was added as a new travel destination for Eurostar train service to go & terminate at the station.
British Rail Class 373 (Eurostar e300/ TGV TMST rolling stock) have been an Eurostar train since the inauguration of the train service in late 1994. It is still in service, although it has been refurbished & sometime soon in next few years, it may be out of the service completely as the new rolling stock British Rail Class 374 (Eurostar e320) have been in service since 2015.
