About Eurostar

Eurostar is a high-speed rail service linking London St Pancras station (renamed 14 November 2007) in the UK with north Paris, Lille, France and Brussels, Belgium (south). The train leaves London and crosses the English Channel to France. Eurostar trains in Belgium and France use the same track as TGV and Thalys in France, and a new section of track in the UK that meets TGV standards. Major stations: London St. Pancras, Kent, Paris (France), Brussels (Belgium), Disneyland France, etc. Since the first official Eurostar train entered service in November 1994, it has become the most popular train on the London-Paris rail route. In November 2004, Eurostar usage accounted for 68% of the London-Paris route and 63% of the London-Brussels route. Prior to 14 November 2007, it took 2 hours 35 minutes from London to Paris and 2 hours 20 minutes from London to Brussels. The second stage of the Channel Tunnel Link was completed in 2007 and opened in November of the same year, the Eurostar is a 300 km/h ultrafast train, the time from London to Paris and Brussels was reduced to 2 hours 15 minutes and 1 hour 51 minutes respectively. Completion of the second phase of the project has not only increased the speed of travel, but also significantly increased the frequency of services to London. London and mainland Europe will increase by at least eight trains per hour in both directions.

  • How to Get Cheap Eurostar tickets

    Looking for the cheapest train tickets for your journey? We've got you covered!Check out the suggestions below and discover tips you can use to save on your next train journey.
    Book in advance
    Book in advance
    Most of the railway companies throughout Europe release their tickets approximately three to six months in advance, with many offering lower prices for early bookings. If you know the dates you wish to travel, it may be possible to secure cheaper train tickets from Milan to Rome by booking in advance.
    Split Tickets
    Choose a slower or connecting train
    On certain busier routes, it may be possible to opt for a slower or connecting train. Although it may take slightly longer than high-speed or direct services, you could potentially secure a cheaper fare if you have some extra time to spare. Additionally, you'll have more opportunity to appreciate the scenic views of the countryside!
    Travel Off-Peak
    Be open to flexibility in your travel schedule
    A significant number of train services in Europe are also utilized as commuter services, and as such, many train companies raise ticket prices during "peak hours" (typically from 06:00 to 10:00 and from 15:00 to 19:00 on weekdays). If possible, try to travel outside of peak hours to secure lower-priced tickets.
    Travel Off-Peak
    Use your Railcard
