Starting 15 December 2025, Eurostar will begin operating five direct weekday trains in each direction between London and Amsterdam. The additional daily service comes after the full opening of a newly expanded terminal in Amsterdam earlier this year, which now allows for greater passenger processing capacity and improved scheduling. The upgrade marks a structural change in how frequently passengers can move between the two cities by rail.

This shift comes after more people started hopping on board between the two capitals, as numbers have jumped by 18 percent since January. With capacity expanded to over 650 passengers per train, the updated timetable aims to accommodate growing interest in cross-border rail travel, especially on one of the busiest international train routes in Europe. The adjustment is part of a broader trend toward more consistent and frequent rail services within Western Europe.

Passengers arriving in London get off at St Pancras International, a central station next to the British Library, which hosts public exhibitions and quiet spaces open throughout the week. Coal Drops Yard is just a few minutes away on foot, where former industrial sheds have been turned into a space filled with small shops, local cafés and occasional open-air events. Travellers coming from places like Cambridge or Brighton can reach London in time for evening trains by using regular regional connections.

On arrival in Amsterdam, travellers step out directly into the city centre. From the station, it’s a short walk to the Eastern Docklands, an area with wide promenades, former warehouses and modern bridges. For a slower pace, travellers can wander into the Plantage district, where green spaces offer a break from the city bustle and curious visitors can explore a historic zoo and the city’s botanical gardens. The central location of the station also makes it easy to reach ferry terminals or board regional trains to other Dutch cities.

The introduction of a fifth train per day will spread travel demand more evenly throughout the day, offering more practical options for day trips, overnight stays or connections to other European destinations. With border controls managed directly at departure stations and city-centre terminals on both ends, the route remains one of the more accessible international rail corridors available to UK and Netherlands travellers.
