Arlington, VA, February 04, 2004
- Eurostar, 814/9F, the high-speed train operator that runs passenger services between London, Paris and Brussels,
has joined ARC as a participating carrier effective with sales of February 2, 2004, giving more than 26,000 ARC-accredited travel agency and corporate

Headquartered in London, Eurostar carries seven million customers per year on up to 29 trains per day between the city centers of London and Paris, Brussels,
