Eurostar to launch high-speed trains between London and Germany

May 16, 2022, 08:49 PM

Often used to take the train between Brussels and Frankfurt as it wasn’t much shorter with the extra time taken to taxi to/from airports, waiting for planes to take off, etc. And it allowed me to do a lot of work on the train. Didn’t know there was a high-speed line through the Ardenn...

Qantas to convert remaining A380 orders to A350-900ULR?

I believe that's a key question - can the ULR version fly direct SYD-LHR?
