German rail firm plans Amsterdam – London high speed services
German railway company Deutsche Bahn is planning to offer direct high speed rail services between Amsterdam and London, the BBC reports on Tuesday.
Deutsche Bahn must get approval for its trains from safety authorities before services can run but told the BBC it is confident of doing so.
At the moment the only passenger train services through the Channel Tunnel are run by Eurostar.
Deutsche Bahn hopes to start the new services in 2013. The Amsterdam – London trip would take around four hours.
