The new destinations will only be added to the Eurostar network on a trial basis, and on the basis of one journey per week. However, the rail company has already warned that the service is likely to evolve over the next two years: "In view of the great success of the new service, and with a view to refining a possible offer for 2015, Eurostar would like to test an extended service today with new stations and over the spring period - May and June". Sales of these new tickets will begin on 11 December 2012 on the Eurostar website.
