Train passengers in Europe will soon get a new travel experience. The train company Eurostar plans to launch new trains with two-story bars in May 2031. All passengers on board can visit the two-floor bar area.

on board= 在火車、船或飛機等交通工具上

The new trains are named Celestia, a word that means heavenly. Eurostar ordered 30 of these double-decker trains. Six of them will start running in 2031 to current destinations, as well as Geneva and Frankfurt.

as well as= 以及、除了……之外

The trains are also designed to handle extreme heat. Europe had record-breaking heatwaves this summer. To prepare for hot weather in the future, the new trains will have air conditioning that works in temperatures up to 55°C.

Eurostar says these trains will stay in service for many years. They will run from 2031 into the 2060s.
