Eurostar’s new trains will have two-storey cocktail bars – but you’ll have to wait until 2031
The two-storey bars aboard Eurostar Celestia will be open to all passengers.
Eurostar, the renowned train service, has announced plans to introduce double-decker trains with two-storey cocktail bars on board, set to launch in 2031. This development, while exciting for train enthusiasts, particularly those who appreciate the novelty of double-decker trains, marks yet another milestone for the service. Eurostar's new Celestia trains, named after the term 'heavenly' to signify an extraordinary travel experience, will feature open-air bars accessible to all passengers.
The spokesperson for Eurostar explained that these two-storey bars represent a significant step towards creating a unique travel experience. The first batch of 30 Celestia trains is expected to start operating from May 2031. When they commence service, six of these trains will be deployed across all present Eurostar routes, including Geneva and Frankfurt.
Furthermore, in response to the unusually high temperatures experienced across Europe this summer, Eurostar has ensured its new trains will be equipped with advanced air conditioning capable of handling temperatures up to 55°C. The spokesperson reiterated that while these trains will enter service in 2031 and continue to operate into the 2060s, it's crucial to prepare for such future conditions.
