If it goes ahead, the journey\u00a0would mark the first time ever that Brits can reach Switzerland via one direct train.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The cross-Channel rail operator has signed a \u2018memorandum of understanding\u2019 with Swiss Federal Railways (SBB) and French SNCF Voyageurs, agreeing to establish a potential direct connection between the two countries.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>At the moment,\u00a0people travelling\u00a0from London St Pancras have to\u00a0take the Eurostar\u00a0to\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.timeout.com\/paris\/en\">Paris<\/a>\u00a0then change to\u00a0a TGV Lyria train to Zurich \u2013 that whole journey takes seven and a half hours. A direct route to <strong>Basel<\/strong> would cut that time down to around five hours (not much longer than the train journey from London to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.timeout.com\/glasgow\">Glasgow<\/a>).

It added that London is the top flight destination from Switzerland, so there is strong customer demand for a rail alternative.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Now that a memorandum of understanding has been signed, the next steps will involve figuring out entry formalities, necessary infrastructure changes and intergovernmental agreements. If all of that gets sorted and the route gets the green light, Eurostar says it could be ready at some point in the 2030s.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Switzerland isn\u2019t the only new destination that Eurostar hopes to launch in the next decade.
