Thalys was till lately the industrial identify of this high-speed prepare\u00a0service between Paris and Amsterdam, however Thalys and Eurostar merged in September 2023. This means\u00a0there may be now one single rail community connecting France, Belgium, the Netherlands, Germany, and the UK. Eurostar trains will retain their darkish blue livery, whereas Thalys trains will retain their deep crimson livery (though Thalys is now branded as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.eurostar.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Eurostar<\/a>).<\/p>\n<p>The Eurostar (ex-Thalys) trains are a marvel of expertise and attain a most pace of 186 miles per hour (300 km per hour). With massive sections of high-speed rail observe in place within the Netherlands, Belgium and France, the journey from Amsterdam to Paris may be made in below 3 hours 20 minutes. This contains quick stops that are made alongside the best way in Schiphol, Rotterdam, Antwerp and Brussels (the place passengers get on or off the prepare). Compared to flying, the Eurostar (ex-Thalys) trains even have the comfort of departing and arriving within the coronary heart of town \u2013 with a beneficiant baggage allowance.<\/p>\n<p>Eurostar (ex-Thalys) gives 3 courses onboard its trains: Standard Class (2nd class); Comfort Class (1st class with out meals, drinks and lounge entry); and Premium Class (totally versatile tickets with complimentary meals, drinks and lounge entry). Premium Class \u2013 which I attempted out throughout my journey \u2013 goals at enterprise vacationers. My Premiums Class expertise with Eurostar (ex-Thalys) felt like a rip-off although: the drained seat, the inedible snacks (and the shortage of an actual meal) and the underwhelming lounge in Amsterdam have been an enormous disappointment\u00a0 and didn&#8217;t justify the excessive value. I counsel to guide a Comfort Class ticket with Eurostar because the extras of Premium Class are simply not value it.<\/p>\n<p>Have you ever traveled in Premium Class with Eurostar (ex-Thalys)? If so, what was your expertise?

MEALS<\/strong><\/h5>\n<p>After boarding, a flyer was distributed by the prepare crew to Premium Class passengers, stating that \u201ca delicious meal will be served at your seat\u201d. In actuality, these have been the meals I obtained: a tiny piece of a salty cake between Amsterdam and Brussels, and a tiny toast with mozzarella and tomatoes between Brussels and Paris.<\/p>\n<p>The meals was a complete shame and rip-off (as I has particularly booked the Premium Class ticket to check out the meal). When I shared my disappointment with the pleasant prepare conductor, he knowledgeable me that an actual meal is barely served throughout sure occasions and on chosen journeys. I&#8217;m stunned that Eurostar (ex-Thalys) will get away with this coverage since they don\u2019t disclose that info on their web site, hereby falsely charging passengers for a meal service that isn&#8217;t provided on greater than half of its prepare journeys (until you take into account the pathetic snack I obtained a meal).<\/p>\n<p>Because I felt ripped off, I wrote a grievance to Eurostar (ex-Thalys), utilizing the corporate\u2019s on-line suggestions doc. I acquired a reply with apologies and a 15 euros voucher for a subsequent journey with them. IMHO, it\u2019s unparalleled that an organization is apologizing for his or her normal service (even providing a voucher to make up for it). Can you think about what would occur if all Premium Class passengers would begin complaining about this?<\/p>\n<p>The solely proper factor to do for Eurostar (ex-Thalys) could be to obviously point out on their web site (through the reserving course of) whether or not a meal might be served or not, and to supply a reduction when no meal is included within the journey.\u00a0I do notice although that chances are high nihil that Eurostar (ex-Thalys) will ever learn this evaluate.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_288672\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-288672\" style=\"width: 1000px\"

PARIS GARE DU NORD<\/strong><\/h5>\n<p>The finish level of my Eurostar (ex-Thalys) journey was Gare Du Nord in Paris. Gare du Nord is Europe\u2019s main railway station and the world\u2019s third largest railway station by way of site visitors flows, welcoming over 220 million guests a yr. The constructing was inaugurated on 14 June 1846 with the opening of the Paris-Amiens-Lille line. Featuring a contemporary neoclassical fashion, the constructing has an imposing fa\u00e7ade adorned with twenty-three statues by well-known sculptors. But other than its fa\u00e7ade, there\u2019s nothing notably fascinating about Gare Du Nord and most vacationers will keep away from spending plenty of time right here.<\/p>\n<figure
