Eurostar plans double-decker trains as rivals eye Tunnel
Eurostar is investing €2 billion in up to 50 new double-decker trains from Alstom, set to join its fleet from 2031. These "Celestia" trains will boost capacity and passenger comfort, running alongside existing services. This significant expansion aims to meet growing international travel demand and potentially introduce new routes, though competition for Channel Tunnel access looms.
