Direct train service from Amsterdam to London on the Eurostar, the sleek, fast train that connects Britain to northwestern Europe, will be suspended for six months next year, the train company said.
The closing, which will begin in June, is a result of renovations at Amsterdam Centraal Station, from which the Eurostar to London departs.
“It’s a shame,” she said, adding that the train company has worked to entice people to take trains instead of planes for short distances.
A flight from Amsterdam to London takes less than an hour.
The train trip from Amsterdam to London takes about four hours, with stops in Rotterdam, in the Netherlands, Brussels and Lille, France.
