Eurostar Deals to Lille
Author: Alex
Eurostar deals to Lille are listed on all the main eurostar booking sites from London St Pancras but did you know it is also possible to travel directly from Ashford to Lille or Lille to Ashford?
Fore example on September 8th at 17:27 for one adult travelling to Lille from Ashford would cost only £49 and the 14:04 train is only £37
So if you have a single journey requirement that doesn’t need to take in the main Eurostar terminals of Paris Gare du Nord and London St Pancras, it’s still well worth doing a search for the exact stations that you would prefer to travel from and to. Even if it’s a combination of Lille Europe, Ashford International, Ebbesfleet International or maybe even Calais.
Go to the bookings site and check the Eurostar deals availability now.

In January, Eurostar’s monopoly on using the channel tunnel was meant to have expired. expired, with the possibility of new Eurostar deals with alternative train operators. With its London to Paris flights suffering, Air France realised “if you can’t beat ‘em join ‘em” and in 2008 announced a competing high-speed rail service between London and Paris to start in late 2010. The economic downturn however, may have put that deal on hold. Air France would use the same tracks, but says its trains could run faster than Eurostar’s, a claim that Eurostar disputed.
Meanwhile in Brussels, The European Commission has ow taken action to break the monopoly on a high-speed rail networks operating between France, Belgium and Britain. They won a pledge from existing market incumbents Eurostar and Thalys etc to drop any existing barriers to outside competitors, leaving the way clear for new Eurostar deals across Europe in the near future.
The European Union’s executive arm had been asked to approve the creation of “New Eurostar” – a joint venture between the French, Belgian and British state railway companies, which also control the Eurostar service between London, Paris and Brussels.
The commission gave the New Eurostar project a green light, but only after the three companies committed themselves to facilitating “the entry of new rail operators on the London-Brussels and London-Paris routes,” a statement said.
Joaquin Almunia EU Competition Commissioner wants more varied Eurostar Deals
A spokeswoman for Competition Commissioner Joaquin Almunia said the action was taken in light of the EU’s decision to liberalise international rail services as of January 1, 2010.
Amelia Torres said.
In the future, we expect more diversification of services, more choice for consumers, more innovation and lower prices as a result of greater competition
Eurostar Deals to Frankfurt and Madrid
As an example, she raised the prospect of “passengers being able to travel from Frankfurt to London or from Madrid to London without changing trains.”
The commission specifically insisted that potential newcomers to the Eurostar rail network should be able to use station infrastructure and access passenger information currently in the hands of the “New Eurostar” joint venture.
The incumbent companies also pledged to be ready to make space for rivals in their Eurostar timetables.
Paris Breaks: Eurostar Increased Train Services

Eurostar Increased Train Services
With all flights into and out of the UK grounded, Eurostar ran an extra 10 trains last weekend, with six more than normal planned for Monday. Between last Thursday and Sunday, an estimated 50,000 people travelled by Eurostar, up 30% on normal passenger numbers. Eurostar passengers have been urged to book online rather than just turn up at railway stations.
Tens of thousands of Britons on holiday and on business are still trying to find ways to get into, or out of, the UK. With flight restrictions extended until at least 7pm Monday, and forecasters warning that the ash cloud could hang over the UK for “many more” days, the search is on to track down alternative transport routes.
As a result of the disruption to air travel in Europe, Eurostar say they are doing everything possible by adding extra trains to help passengers who are experiencing problems. Inevitably the trains are extremely busy.
They ask passengers only to come to the stations if holding a confirmed reservation for travel.
Detailed list of the extra trains are available on the Eurostar offiicial website

Save £3 on all Eurostar Deals
Author: Alex
I’m going to explain how you can save £3 per transaction on all Eurostar Deals booked over the internet.
It’s quite simple really since the Eurostar company has introduced a charge of £3 per credit card transaction for all bookings by phone, at the station or on the internet. The internet is still the most convenient and easiest way to book Eurostar deals, and sometimes cheaper, but never more costly than the other methods described. Charging for credit card use is a practice that is increasingly common with all kinds of travel companies, including airlines, someof whom charge more than the £3 and add other extras as well. They all do this because the credit card companies themselves levy a charge per transaction, which is picked up by the vendor.
The way to save £3 on Eurostar deals is to use a bank debit card instead when making the internet booking. Cards such as Maestro and Visa Debit Card come in two sorts – bank account direct debit cards and pre-paid debit cards, which are equivalent to electronic cash. By using any kind of bank debit card instead of a credit card the £3 fee is waived, reflecting the much lower costs levied by the banks for this type of payment card so you get your Eurostar deals for £3 cheaper every time.
Disneyland Eurostar Deals and Paris Breaks
Author: Alex
The disadvantage with flying, as any regular taker of Paris breaks will tell you is that it can take twice as long to get from Charles de Gaulle airport to your hotel. The Eurostar high speed train on the other hand, offers a smooth check-in, more leg-room than the President’s Bentley, a genuinely decent food and drink menu and the promise of arriving straight into the Gare du Nord in Paris. Or in the case of Disneyland arriving within sight of the hotel at Disneyland Resort Paris.
Through-fares from Birmingham to Paris, Brussels and the resort itself start from around £80 standard return and £210 Leisure Select by choosing Eurostar deals in conjunction with Virgin Trains. There are 12 Eurostar trains a day to Paris, and seven services to Brussels throughout the year. In just 5 hours 20 minutes, you will be in the heart of Disneyland Resort Paris. Very impressive.
Just a couple of hundred yards from the smart Marne la Vallee Eurostar terminal stands the Hotel New York, where the rooms are themed around the US city with stylish furnishings, plenty of room and lashings of American attitude. Local staff are exceptionally friendly, in accordance with the Disneyland vision.

Eurostar Paris Unaffected by Strike
Author: Alex
News reports from France confirm that Eurostar Paris journeys are unaffected by the general public sector strike.
Disruption has swept across other parts of the French transport network in Paris as both public and private sector workers have been on strike to protest at the deterioration of the French economy.
Hundreds of thousands of French workers attended more than two hundred rallies across the country in protest at president Nicolas Sarkozy’s inability to protect wages and jobs.
Postal workers and teachers angry with plans to shed 13,000 positions in 2009 and also court officials have all joined the day of protest alongside transport and local government workers.
Reports suggest however that disruption to travel in the capital has not been as severe as expected. Some 60 per cent of services are operating normally, while Eurostar Paris services are unaffected. So anybody arriving on Eurostar deals to Paris today can expect to arrive punctually at Gare du Nord but may face some delays with their onward journey.
Eurostar Paris Breaks from London at Full Speed in February
The section of the Channel Tunnel hit by a serious fire last September, causing changes to the Eurostar Paris timetable, will be reopened in three weeks time, tunnel operator Eurotunnel has announced.
The part of the tunnel known as “interval six” will reopen in the early hours of 10 February, said Eurotunnel who are responsible for the tunnel through which Eurostar trains travel.
High speed passenger service Eurostar said that from 23 February it would return to a normal timetable with all services to Paris and London operating at full speed. So that’s great news for anybody booking Paris breaks for the near future.
