Belmond’s Venice Simplon-Orient-Express UK services will be cut next year, while Eurostar’s London–Disneyland Paris route will end in June.

One of world's most famous trains will no longer be departing from London, and the operator of the modern-day Orient Express wants to halt its operation in Britain as a result of Brexit.

The UK leg of the Orient Express has been scrapped due to Brexit border controls, according to a report.

For nearly a century, the Orient Express symbolised the height of wealth and extravagance in Europe. / Belmond, the company that runs today’s VSOE, has now decided to drop this leg of the route because it has become too difficult to cross the border to Calais, in France, because of Brexit.
