Historic Eurostar terminal switch tonight
Eurostar is to move overnight from Waterloo to a new London home at restored St Pancras International where services are planned to resume tomorrow (Wednesday) at 11.01.
The company’s 15-hour overnight move to St Pancras will enable journey times to the Continent to be cut by at least 20 minutes by using High Speed 1, the UK’s first high-speed line.
The Channel Tunnel passenger service started international rail services from Waterloo on November 14, 1994.
Since then it has carried over 81 million passengers on more than 230,000 trains.
The service began with two trains a day between London, Paris and Brussels.
Eurostar now operates up to 17 daily services to Paris and up to 10 services a day to Brussels.
Chef executive Richard Brown said: “We are celebrating 13 momentous years since the birth of Eurostar, and I want to thank all those who have supported us, travelled with us and worked alongside us.”
