More than 1.6 million passengers have now journeyed between London and the Netherlands since the inaugural service left London St Pancras International in April 2018.
This, according to Eurostar, equates to in excess of 10,000 aircraft loads, with a single passenger’s carbon footprint from a London-Amsterdam flight estimated to be equivalent to seven Eurostar journeys.
The European rail operator said the route, which now operates four-times-daily, illustrated the massive carbon savings that come from switching from air travel to rail travel.
