With sleek lines, a smart new livery, chic designer interiors and a whole host of eco-friendly upgrades, their unveiling is the perfect milestone to mark Eurostar s 20th anniversary. DESIGNED TO MOVE YOU Our new trains have been engineered especially for Eurostar by Siemens and designed with you in mind by the legendary Italian design house, Pininfarina. We ve worked closely with the designers to incorporate your feedback about our trains, and our new models include free wi-fi, a completely redesigned bar buffet, as well as ergonomically designed seats with UK and Continental power sockets and fresh, bright toilets. We ve also perfected every last detail, from clever seat cushions and ingenious tables, to smart technological touches and intelligent lighting. All to give you the ultimate in comfort for an effortless journey.

3 TREADING LIGHTLY AS WE GO Developing our new fleet is not just a chance to improve your travel experience, it s also a great opportunity to seek out the latest innovations in rail technology and find new ways to take care of our environment. DWARFING A JUMBO Our new trains carry nearly 900 passengers. That s 150 more than previously and twice as many as a jumbo jet. This means that they re 17% more efficient per seat than our older trains. HOW S MY DRIVING? As well as giving our drivers special eco-driving training, our new trains are all fitted with high-tech energy meters to help them track and manage energy consumption en route. RETIRE, REUSE, RECYCLE We re already thinking ahead by making sure that fixtures and fittings like seat frames will be recyclable in the future. We even have recycling bins on board, so we re caring for the planet on every journey. LIGHTBULB MOMENT We ve re-designed and re-engineered our trains so we have more control over lighting, saving energy and letting daylight do the work while we re above ground. FOLLOWING OUR NOSES All of our trains noses are super sleek and aerodynamic to reduce energy consumption and noise.

5 FULL OF FEATURES KNOW WHICH SEATS ARE FREE If you fancy a change of scene, new displays now show which seats aren t taken. Just look out for the indicator above the seat before you switch. Easy. LUGGAGE With luggage racks and overhead racks inside each coach, boarding s faster than ever and you ll never be far from your belongings. When it s time to head off at the other end, special lighting will spring to life to remind you to take all your bits and bobs with you. A LITTLE LUXURY IN THE LOO Should nature call en route, our new toilets are bright, white and fresh. We know that in the smallest room the tiniest details count, so look out for brand new features like touch-free taps and a baby changing table in every other cubicle. AUTOMATIC DOORS Our touch-free glass doors open automatically perfect for when you re carrying luggage or a glass of bubbly from the bar buffet. PASSENGERS OF REDUCED MOBILITY Everyone travelling with us should have a simple, seamless journey. That s why, as part of our re-design, we ve focused on making life easier for passengers who have special requirements, with priority seats for people with reduced mobility, more wheelchair facilities and wheelchair lifts.

7 SPEED AND SIMPLICITY STANDARD Standard class is anything but ordinary. With sleek, stylish surroundings and a light, bright and calming new colour scheme, you can relax in comfort every mile of the way. Step on board and settle into your seat, extending the cushion and reclining whenever you fancy a snooze, without encroaching on the space of the traveller behind you. With a clever folding table and a socket at every seat, it s easy to make the most of your time on board, whether you re catching up on work or the latest box set. And if you need anything from your bag, it won t be far away, with luggage racks and overhead racks in each coach. So sit back, relax and let us whisk you away.

9 COMFORT, STYLE & TOTAL TRANQUILLITY BUSINESS PREMIER & STANDARD PREMIER Our new Business Premier and Standard Premier coaches have ushered in a new era of comfort at Eurostar. They ve been entirely refreshed, with a new colour scheme and a truly intuitive design. With comfort as our top priority, you ll unwind in a new seat with a deeper recline allowing you to stretch out and gently slide back a full 10cm, without encroaching on the space of the traveller behind you. The seat cushion also extends, giving extra comfort to those with longer legs. Extra storage and a slimline table give you space to spread out and work or stretch out and snooze. And we know your time on board is precious, so if you have work to catch up on or your favourite programme to watch on your tablet, attention to detail makes it simple to work or unwind all the way. From a pocket for your laptop to a handy cup holder, a power socket and a USB port, as well as a personal light, mirror and coat hook, you ll have everything you need within easy reach.
