Departing from Amsterdam Centraal

You can take a direct train back to London from Amsterdam Centraal in just 4 hours 09 minutes.

• Get to Amsterdam Centraal at our recommended arrival time to allow plenty of time to get through border controls and security.

• Find the Eurostar departures building at the end of platform 15b. Once there, you’ll need to show your ticket and pass through security before moving to a waiting area.

• To reach the departures building on platform 15b, you’ll need to scan your ticket at the earlier NS ticket gates.

Just so you know, some of our trains might need to stop at Brussels-Midi/Zuid for less than half an hour for border security reasons. This wait is scheduled into your journey time – so you won’t be late. You won’t be able to leave the train during the wait.
