Inside Eurostar's Fancy Train With Chic Italian Design And Wi-Fi

Eurostar has announced a new fleet of superfast trains as it celebrates 20 years of cross-channel transport.

The e320 will travel at speeds of 200 miles per hour, and was unveiled on Thursday, Nov. 12, at St. Pancras station in London.

The company says it's adding seven of the new designs to its operation, and they'll be entering the commercial market at the end of 2015.

"With just one year to go until our new e320 train comes into service, passengers will see a complete transformation of our service."

Petrovic describes the new designs as "bold" and says as well as "chic interiors", Wi-Fi internet will also be available for passengers.

The trains will be able to carry 900 passengers, and the external livery and interiors were designed by Italian design house Pininfarina.
