"Customers can expect a very special new train with Eurostar Celestia, which will offer exceptional comfort, a unique Eurostar experience and new surprises to be revealed,"
"We're particularly proud to bring double-decker trains to the UK for the very first time."
Eurostar has ordered 30 double-decker trains from Alstom with an option to buy 20 more in a $2.3 billion contract. The new trains, named Celestia, measure 650 feet and are scheduled to begin service in May 2031. The fleet will operate on existing routes through the Channel Tunnel across the United Kingdom, France, Belgium, the Netherlands, and Germany, and will extend service to new destinations including Geneva and Frankfurt. The expanded fleet will allow Eurostar to add three daily London–Paris trips and increase Amsterdam service from four to seven daily trips. The purchase marks the first introduction of double-decker trains to the UK.
