Another Brexit casualty? Orient Express to scrap UK section after 41 years

When the service was first launched 140 years ago, passengers were not required to bring passports

The UK section of the Orient Express has been scrapped after 41 years due to Brexit border controls, according to a new report.

The Orient Express famously featured in Agatha Christie’s novel Murder on the Orient Express, and originally ran from Paris to Istanbul.

Now the London to Folkestone leg of the route has been stopped because it has become too difficult to cross the border to Calais.
