Eurostar: new trains will have two-story bars, but only in 2031

Euronews Portugal15 September 2026 at 14:35

Eurostar will receive new trains called Celestia, which will include two-story bars on board. This is one of the main innovations that the European rail carrier will implement in its services.

The two-story bars will be available to all passengers, not exclusive to any specific class. This change represents a significant alteration in the passenger experience during travel.

However, these new trains with the innovative infrastructure will not enter service before 2031. Passengers will have to wait several years to be able to experience this new configuration on board Eurostar.

Why this matters

Eurostar passengers will have to wait until 2031 to enjoy the new two-story bars on the Celestia trains, which represents a significant improvement in the travel experience. This news is of direct interest to those who regularly travel between European cities and those planning future trips on this rail service.

Álvaro, savings specialist, on this washing machine button: "Never touch it unless you really need to"

Álvaro Navarrete, savings specialist, warns that the speed acceleration buttons on washing machine programs, such as VarioSpeed or SpeedPerfect, can increase energy consumption instead of reducing it, contradicting the common idea that shorter cycles are necessarily more efficient. The specialist recommends reserving these functions only for urgent situations and preferring Eco programs, which, although longer, consume less energy by using lower temperatures. Navarrete also suggests other habits, such as taking advantage of the full drum capacity, cleaning the filter regularly, and using delayed start to concentrate washes during the cheapest hours.

Wall Street falls as oil prices and Treasury yields hit 19-year highs

Wall Street closed in negative territory on Tuesday, with the S&P 500 falling 0.20%, the Dow Jones losing 0.52% and the Nasdaq Composite down 0.26%, pressured by rising oil prices and increasing Treasury yields, with the 10-year US debt interest rate reaching levels not seen in about 19 years. The worsening of tensions in the Middle East increases the risk of new disruptions in oil markets, while investors await further signals from the Federal Reserve on the interest rate trajectory. In the technology sector, Nvidia rose 0.94%, in a context of volatility among chip manufacturers, and cryptocurrency-linked companies are among the most pressured, with bitcoin falling more than 3%.
