Eurostar orders first double-decker trains

They would be the first two-level high-speed trains to run through the Channel Tunnel.

Eurostar has revealed plans to run double-decker trains through the Channel Tunnel for the first time.
The cross-Channel rail operator has confirmed it will order up to 50 trains from manufacturer Alstom, eventually increasing the size of its fleet by nearly a third...

In the €2bn (£1.74bn) deal, confirmed on Wednesday, Eurostar has ordered 30 "Celestia" trains, with the option for 20 more.
Each train would be 200m long. If two were run together, as happens currently, the resulting 400m service would have about 1,080 seats.

Cue BBC to show archive footage of the 4-DDs like that helps in any way :)
