Eurostar Adds Quiet Cars to Trains

Good news for train travelers in Europe: Eurostar is introducing a new quiet coach facility onboard all of its trains for travel as of September.

Passengers booking Business and Standard Premier tickets for travel from September 11 onwards can choose a seat at no extra cost in a dedicated quiet coach at the time of booking.

In addition, throughout June, Eurostar is also offering business customers an itinerary of exclusive events in all of its business lounges. These range from afternoon tea, beer tasting and spa treatments to a pastry chef workshop.

Looking ahead, Eurostar will get refurbished and new trains from 2013 and 2014 that will give passengers access to on-board Wi-Fi and "infotainment" services including travel and destination information and interactive entertainment.
