Paris Breaks: Eurostar Increased Train Services

Alex — Tue, 20 Apr 2010 07:08:28 +0000

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

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.

Eurostar Deals to Paris

Summer is a peak time for Eurostar deals and if you haven’t got your Eurostar tickets booked already then it isn’t necessarily going to be easy to get exactly the right dates and times that you’d prefer. So the best plan really is to book well in advance, but of course I know that isn’t always possible. The Eurostar international station at St Pancras, London gets very busy at peak times, and the peak times for Eurostar outbound from the UK are generally early in the morning as there are always plenty of business people who need to get to Paris in time for a meeting first thing. So one way of getting the best Eurostar deals from London is to take an afternoon journey, and just accept that you’re not going to arrive in Paris in time for lunch. That’s not so terrible, especially if you don’t have to worry about finding a hotel before they all fill up for the night, having already booked one as part of a very reasonable package deal with eurostar train and hotel included. Yay!
