EUROSTAR ran its first passenger-carrying train from Amsterdam to London on February 4, with invited guests. It will start public services on April 30, with ticket sales opening on February 11. The inaugural train was waved off in Amsterdam by the Dutch State Secretary for Security and Justice Ms Ankie Broekers-Knol and welcomed in London by Transport Secretary Grant Shapps, who said in a speech he hoped to see through trains from London to many more destinations, including Germany, Spain and Portugal in coming years.
