Eurostar is to start running the first ever direct train service from London to Amsterdam, shaving an hour off the current journey time.

Currently, customers who have booked a journey to the Dutch capital are required to change trains in Brussels, leaving the Eurostar service for a regional train which takes them the rest of the way - a journey which usually takes around 4 hours and 45 minutes.
