Eurostar resumes direct Amsterdam-London services after eight-month pause Eurostar has resumed direct services from Amsterdam to London after an eight-month hold-up while a new terminal was built in the Netherlands capital.
Gwendoline Cazenave, Eurostar chief executive, said the firm was "delighted" that direct services had resumed, calling such trips "more than just a train journey - it is a seamless connection between two vibrant capitals, offering our customers an efficient, comfortable, and sustainable way to travel.
The new Amsterdam station means more space for UK-bound passengers, enabling Eurostar to reintroduce direct departures and increase services.
Migration minister Seema Malhotra said she was pleased to see direct services back on track and pledged that the UK Border Force officers based in Netherlands "will ensure that our border security remains robust.
Since then, passengers travelling from the Dutch capital to London were forced to take a train to Brussels where they would pass through border checks before changing on to a Eurostar service.
