ASA just ruled last week that Eurostar's "from £39" adverts break their rules, because there are so few tickets actually available at those prices!

Great stuff. I did the reverse journey back in 1997 - Eurostar to Brussels, then Belgian Railways the rest of the way, including a 15 minute turnaround in Antwerp where the train reversed direction, meaning thwdriver had to change ends - he was in no hurry, strolling along the platform. The whole trip took nearly 7 hours, but it was great fun.

2:03 As a Dutchman and train enthousiast, the iconic "Koploper" units are my favourite trains in The Netherlands. Both design and comfort are amazing! Sadly they will be phased out over the next years, when the new ICNG-sets (Alstom Coradia Stream) are being entered into service.

I gotta say if all the trip report YouTubers you have by far the best exterior train shots, that opening one was awesome

10:40 it's because Eurostar sells Amsterdam-Brussels tickets on these trains after the merger, and so one half of the train is for the UK, and one half will be for people getting off at Brussels and people boarding from Brussels who have cleared immigration there. They separate the train in two for immigration compliance reasons

Great trip as always. I took the Eurostar to Amsterdam in October 2022 but came back via Thalys through Brussels as it was a lot cheaper to change there for a Eurostar.
Lucky you got it at such a bargain. Hopefully they'll do some offers again someday

Coaches 1-8 are off limit on this route before Brussels I think due to the fact they have to block off entry to the platforms at Amsterdam and Rotterdam which are otherwise regular platforms, and for this they block off the back of the platform but keep the front open. It may be to do with staff but it's certainly a regular and planned thing, as you can't get seats in those carriages if booking from the Netherlands.

I just took this train last week and it was fantastic. I love Eurostar. I wish we had this in the U.S.

12:21 There is also a NIGHTJET to Vienna, Austria. That train rides three times a week 😊

How did you make that map animation 3:27? Looks very good!

What’s great about buying an Oyster card on board, you probably have to pay by credit card so if you do, don’t bother, just use the credit card the same as an Oyster card, same cost and one less card to worry about

[JosBrouwer]

Next improvement to Eurostar (and any other high speed or intercity lines) would be to have direction adjustable seat configuration like they have (quite standard) in Japan.

Amazing video Midland. I love Eurostar.

First comment.I am a big fan of you🎉.Thanks for showing the trains around the world.Keep up the good work 🎉.😊

The longer the ride the better you can take the plane. Going from Brussels to London takes 2 hours that doenst make clear difference taking the plane but from Amsterdam to London with this Euostar it takes 4 hours! The plane not even 1 hour I guess (except the way from London airports to Central London).

£29 is reslly cheap. i travelled from london to readong and back for £36 (yes, multiple people, but still much less length)

[DubstepAllOnMe]

It says changes at brussles does that mean I have to get off the train and on another one?

[kaasmeester]

It's a great train but the prices you generally get when trying to book are almost always higher than a comparable flight (Rotterdam to London City). When booking on short notice, nothing is available or the price is twice of what BA charges for the flight. It seems to be a popular option (and it should be), but too expensive.

[ReecesTrains]

Great video! I'd be down to try this one day! It's amazing you can get from Amsterdam to London in just four hours!
