Eurostar reveals first ever double-decker high speed train to cross the Channel

A major fleet of double-decker trains will operate in the UK for the first time, Eurostar has announced. The company said it will purchase up to 50 two-storey trains for use across its entire network, which includes between London St Pancras and Paris, Brussels and Amsterdam via the Channel Tunnel. It has reached a £1.7billion agreement for Alstom to build the trains in factories in France , where the manufacturer has its headquarters.
