      GROUPE EUROTUNNEL S.E.:Launch of Eurostar London-Amsterdam Direct       Service    
    
    
      Eurotunnel (Paris:GET) welcomes the launch of the Eurostar direct       service London-Amsterdam and London-Rotterdam from 4 April 2018.    
      The journey time of 3h41 (London-Amsterdam) and 3h01 (London-Rotterdam),       as well as the potential of the line - more than 4 million passengers       travelling by air each year between London and Amsterdam, make this       opening a historic landmark for cross-Channel travel.    
      Eurotunnel, which published an independent study on potential       destinations in 2014, has been working closely with Eurostar for many       years on the development of new traffic through the Channel Tunnel.    
      Jacques Gounon, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of the Group,       said: "This launch is highly significant news. Travellers will very       soon be enjoying these fast, comfortable and environmentally responsible       journeys. European citizens aspire to seamless travel experience, which       States must take into account in their international relations."
