Eurostar services to Paris, Brussels etc. Plus options to travel further afield.
Eurostar trains: London St Pancras Station
Eurostar – the most popular transport between London, Paris & Brussels
For travelling between London and near Europe cities like Paris and Brussels, the train and at the moment this means Eurostar trains are the most popular transport option.
Not so long ago, London – Paris was one of the busiest air routes in the world. No more, the introduction of the train services through the tunnel connecting England and France mean travel by train is both faster and normally cheaper than by air, city centre to city centre.
However, the train is not the cheapest way to travel between London and near Europe cities like Brussels and Paris. That honour goes to the Eurolines and Megabus coach services to Europe. But this cheapest option (by far) coach takes much longer. For example to Paris the fastest coaches take 5 hours longer than the Eurostar train services.
Europe by train beyond France, Belgium and Holland
Although new fast train services have been pencilled in to operate fast direct train services to Holland, Germany and the South of France they are not operating yet.
Until then and for destinations further afield the airlines dominate and in particular from London the low cost budget airlines, of which easyJet and Ryanair dominate. Travel by train at the moment to places like Rome, Zurich, Copenhagen and Barcelona is both slower and more expensive than the cheapest air fares and you will need to change train in Brussels or Paris.
However that doesn’t mean using trains to European cities are not an option. Increasingly many travellers choose to travel by train to avoid the stress and tedium of travelling by air.
