European Passenger Services factsheets from early 90s

[gingerheid]

Came across these and thought they should be scanned in case they were of interest to anyone! Includes details of the (then) proposed Eurostar services due to start in 1994.

Interestingly it also included details of the additional services that would start in 1995. These were of course the daytime services we all know and love from Manchester to Paris, Manchester to Brussels, Birmingham to Paris, Edinburgh to Paris, and Edinburgh to Brussels. Supplementing these of course are the convenient night services; from Glasgow to Paris, Swansea to Paris, Glasgow to Brussels, Plymouth to Brussels, London to Amsterdam, London to Dortmund, London to Frankfurt, and uhm ¿Montreal to Halifax? that were also due to start the same year.

Def worth that being more widely accessible thanks to your scanning. Nice work!

Ah yes, Montreal to Halifax; follows the route of the old Midland and Transatlantic Joint Railway

I'm joking. Having not been used on any of the services described in the factsheets, the rolling stock (most of which was incomplete shells) was finally sold to Canada and converted to be used on Montreal - Halifax and other routes.

Oh, I see. Sorry I missed it

The proposed Regional Eurostar services were even in the Summer 2000 National Rail timetable.
