I don't see how they intend to make that competitive with the many, many flights per day from all UK airports. They really need to extend all Brussels services to make it worthwhile.
I agree. I would have done that and have a massive marketing campaign.

Didn't the very original Waterloo-Paris/Brussels Eurostar service only start out as 2-3 trips a day? Look at it now.
Given it will take time to build a market and demand, no point running lots of trains until you've proved you can fill them.
The times that are proposed are a decent compromise to attract the target market, but absolute frequency won't be critical on a service such as Eurostar.
Fair point. Still expected a couple more trains a day, London to Amsterdam is a very popular, proven market, albeit not by train.
