Chunnel trains aim to attract more Scots
EUROSTAR yesterday predicted the number of Scottish passengers using its trains would triple over the next five years but admitted measures to attract more foreign rail passengers to Scotland had yet to be devised.
The rail operator hopes its services to Paris and Brussels will become more attractive when its London terminus moves from Waterloo to St Pancras in November. The refurbished station is five minutes' walk from King's Cross, where GNER trains from Scotland arrive, and ten minutes from Euston, the terminus for Virgin Trains and First ScotRail sleepers.
Through tickets from Scotland go on sale in November, but the Scottish Tourism Forum has criticised the lack of such fares for travellers from Europe.
