Is anyone sure of the requirements to take Eurostar from London to Netherlands after 23 January 2021

I am a British citizen but a permanent resident of the Netherlands, hoping to take the Eurostar from London to Amsterdam on 26 January.

The Netherlands has of course implemented extremely strict travel restrictions between UK and NL but the train seems to be running, and I meet the exemption criteria to travel.

However, I am unsure about the requirements, especially about the "rapid antigen test". Dutch and British government websites state that this is required only for entry by flight or boat, and Eurostar website asks only for 72 hour PCR test. But some small news websites in NL report that the 4 hour rapid test is also required.

Does anyone know what will be required to board the train?
