MEET OUR
NEW TRAINS
AFTER TWO DECADES LEADING THE WAY IN
HIGH SPEED CROSS-CHANNEL TRAIN TRAVEL,
THE TIME HAS COME TO BREATHE NEW LIFE
INTO OUR FLEET.
With sleek lines, a smart new livery, chic designer
interiors and a whole host of eco-friendly upgrades,
their unveiling is the perfect milestone to mark
Eurostar’s 20th anniversary.
DESIGNED TO MOVE YOU
Our new trains have been engineered especially for
Eurostar by Siemens and designed with you in mind
by the legendary Italian design house, Pininfarina.
We’ve worked closely with the designers to
incorporate your feedback about our trains, and
our new models include free wi-fi, a completely
redesigned bar buffet, as well as ergonomically
designed seats with UK and Continental power
sockets and fresh, bright toilets.
We’ve also perfected every last detail, from
clever seat cushions and ingenious tables, to
smart technological touches and intelligent
lighting. All to give you the ultimate in comfort
for an effortless journey.
TREADING LIGHTLY
AS WE GO
Developing our new fleet is not just a chance to
improve your travel experience, it’s also a great
opportunity to seek out the latest innovations
in rail technology and find new ways to take
care of our environment.
DWARFING A JUMBO
HOW’S MY
DRIVING?
As well as giving
our drivers special
eco-driving training, our new
trains are all fitted with high-tech
energy meters to help them track
and manage energy consumption
en route.
Our new trains carry nearly 900 passengers.
That’s 150 more than previously and twice as
many as a jumbo jet. This means that they’re
17% more efficient per seat than our older trains.
LIGHTBULB MOMENT
We’ve re-designed and
re-engineered our trains so we have
more control over lighting, saving
energy and letting daylight do the
work while we’re above ground.
FOLLOWING OUR NOSES
All of our trains’ noses are super sleek
and aerodynamic to reduce energy
consumption and noise.
RETIRE, REUSE, RECYCLE
We’re already
thinking ahead by
making sure that
fixtures and fittings
like seat frames will be
recyclable in the future. We
even have recycling bins on
board, so we’re caring for the
planet on every journey.
FULL OF
FEATURES
KNOW WHICH
SEATS ARE FREE
If you fancy a change of scene,
new displays now show which
seats aren’t taken. Just look
out for the indicator above the
seat before you switch. Easy.
LUGGAGE
With luggage racks and
overhead racks inside each
coach, boarding’s faster than
ever and you’ll never be far
from your belongings. When
it’s time to head off at the
other end, special lighting
will spring to life to remind
you to take all your bits and
bobs with you.
A LITTLE LUXURY
IN THE LOO
Should nature call en route,
our new toilets are bright,
white and fresh. We know
that in the smallest room
the tiniest details count,
so look out for brand new
features like touch-free taps
and a baby changing table
in every other cubicle.
AUTOMATIC DOORS
Our touch-free glass doors open automatically
– perfect for when you’re carrying luggage or
a glass of bubbly from the bar buffet.
PASSENGERS OF REDUCED MOBILITY
Everyone travelling with us should have a
simple, seamless journey. That’s why, as part
of our re-design, we’ve focused on making
life easier for passengers who have special
requirements, with priority seats for people
with reduced mobility, more wheelchair
facilities and wheelchair lifts.
SPEED AND
SIMPLICITY
STANDARD
Standard class is anything but ordinary. With sleek, stylish
surroundings and a light, bright and calming new colour scheme,
you can relax in comfort every mile of the way.
Step on board and settle
into your seat, extending the
cushion and reclining whenever
you fancy a snooze, without
encroaching on the space of
the traveller behind you.
With a clever folding table and
a socket at every seat, it’s easy to
make the most of your time on
board, whether you’re catching
up on work or the latest box set.
And if you need anything
from your bag, it won’t be far
away, with luggage racks and
overhead racks in each coach.
So sit back, relax and let us
whisk you away.
COMFORT, STYLE &
TOTAL TRANQUILLITY
BUSINESS PREMIER & STANDARD PREMIER
Our new Business Premier and Standard Premier coaches have ushered
in a new era of comfort at Eurostar. They’ve been entirely refreshed,
with a new colour scheme and a truly intuitive design.
With comfort as our top priority,
you’ll unwind in a new seat with
a deeper recline allowing you to
stretch out and gently slide back
a full 10cm, without encroaching
on the space of the traveller
behind you. The seat cushion also
extends, giving extra comfort
to those with longer legs. Extra
storage and a slimline table give
you space to spread out and work
or stretch out and snooze.
And we know your time on board
is precious, so if you have work
to catch up on or your favourite
programme to watch on your
tablet, attention to detail makes it
simple to work or unwind all the
way. From a pocket for your laptop
to a handy cup holder, a power
socket and a USB port, as well as
a personal light, mirror and coat
hook, you’ll have everything you
need within easy reach.

BREAKFAST,
LUNCH AND DINER
OUR NEW BAR BUFFET
No Eurostar trip would be complete without un petit pain au
chocolat or a bottle of bubbly. So, we’ve given our bar buffets
a makeover, bringing in sleek new lines and a better layout.
If you find yourself getting peckish, peruse the new chiller
or enjoy something fresh from the oven. Order at the counter
from our delicious range of meals, sandwiches, snacks and treats.
Our coffee’s also getting an upgrade with new bean to cup
machines for the perfect café au lait or cappuccino.
And there’ll be even more than before, with space for us
to carry extra food and drinks on longer routes.
Bon appétit.
