Direct Eurostar trains through to Germany one step closer. London to Paris, Brussels & Amsterdam could be joined by Stuttgart & Frankfurt. But Berlin direct is still a problem. 🚄

Direct trains from UK to Germany are ‘one step closer’ — but one city's left out
Under the proposals, passengers could reach Cologne in four hours and Frankfurt in less than five hours from the UK capital.

I live in modern day Hampshire, where settlers left to colonise America and named a State after us. Hampshire is also historically the heart of the ancient Kingdom of Wessex, its capital city, Winchester, the home of King Alfred The Great. His statue sits prominently in the city.
