Eurostar to Launch Direct Services to Antwerp, Enhancing Travel Options
Eurostar has announced the launch of direct train services from London to Antwerp starting December 2026. This new service will include four daily trains extending from Brussels to Antwerp, reducing the need for passengers to change trains in Brussels. The journey from London to Antwerp will take approximately 2 hours and 41 minutes. However, there are currently no direct return services from Antwerp to London due to the lack of UK border and customs facilities at Antwerpen-Centraal station. Passengers will need to change trains in Brussels for UK immigration checks, adding 50 minutes to the return journey.
