EUROSTAR has unveiled a new timetable for its Channel tunnel services allowing passengers to arrive even earlier at its destination cities. From Tuesday to Friday, the first train from Paris will now leave at 0622 arriving at Waterloo at 0758. From Brussels, between Tuesday and Friday, the 0701 departure will now arrive in London at 0826 more than ten minutes earlier than originally timetabled. The first train from London to Brussels will also arrive much earlier, leaving London at 0610 and arriving in Brussels at 0937. The train operator has also issued punctuality figures for 2004 showing that the trains arrived 89.2%on time, up 13% on the same period the previous year. In September, Eurostar will make further substantial changes to its on-board service by splitting first class leisure and business passengers into separate carriages and introducing ”new-look catering”. Let”s hope it tastes better too!
