The Kensington Treaty, signed by UK Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer and German Chancellor Friedrich Merz, aims to establish direct train services between London and Berlin. The treaty also includes measures for e-gates for frequent travelers and expanded school exchanges. This agreement signals a renewed commitment to strengthening ties with European allies post-Brexit. A joint taskforce will focus on addressing commercial, technical, and safety requirements to facilitate these direct rail services. The initiative is expected to offer an alternative travel option for millions across Europe.
"We're pioneering a new era of European rail connectivity and are determined to put Britain at the heart of a better-connected continent."
"The Brandenburg Gate, the Berlin Wall and Checkpoint Charlie - in just a matter of years, rail passengers in the UK could be able to visit these iconic sights direct from the comfort of a train."
