Got a Charge for Cross-Channel Travel! 🎉

That's right, Europe's train tourism is on fire, and Eurostar's CEO, Gwendoline Cazenave, isn't just taking notes – she's fueling it up! Eurostar's plan to add 50 whopping new trains to their fleet by 2030 is no joke. What's the goal, you ask? They aim to whisk a staggering 30 million passengers through their trains annually by the end of this decade!

Eurostar's not stopping at the tried and tested – they're planning direct links between Britain and Switzerland, and Germany for the first time! This is a game-changer, y'all. 🤯

Now, you might be wondering why the hype over new train routes? Well, the announcement of these new links between London and continental Europe is a pretty rare occurrence. Why? Because their plans require a Brit-friendly border within the stations, and of course, some British bobbies to handle the border duties.

  • What about the impact on industries like finance and transportation with the addition of these new train links?
  • With the introduction of direct links between Britain and Switzerland, as well as Germany, what type of opportunities may arise in the industry and finance sectors for cross-channel travel?
