Three decades after the launch of the Paris–Brussels–Amsterdam route, Eurostar continues to play a defining role in international rail travel in Europe.

The 2025 results, published to mark the line’s 30th anniversary, reflect sound investment and an ambitious vision: 20 million passengers carried over the year, turnover exceeding €2 billion, and sustained growth across the entire network, particularly on the Paris–Amsterdam route (+6.7%) .

In 2025, Eurostar maintained solid operational profitability and pursued a structured investment programme focused on two priorities:

• The renewal of its fleet, with 50 double-decker Celestia trains ordered
• The enhancement of the customer experience, with the opening of the new cross-Channel terminal in Amsterdam.

Against a backdrop of inflation and economic challenges, the company has demonstrated growing travel momentum and a forward-looking vision. The company’s various investments will significantly increase passenger capacity and enable the launch of new routes, including London–Frankfurt and London–Geneva, ensuring a smoother journey for all passengers from departure to arrival.

Thirty years after its launch, Eurostar continues to have a lasting impact on the rail industry, with an ever-expanding network, increased frequencies and an increasingly low-carbon service, reducing emissions by up to 96% on certain routes*.
