Eurostar is the high-speed train service linking London, Ashford, Paris, Brussels, Lille, Avignon, Calais, Disneyland Resort Paris and the French Alps.
Eurostar is changing the way that people travel between Europe and the UK. With our new Channel Tunnel Rail Link that allows our trains to run at speeds of 186mph we’ve reduced return journey times by up to 40mins!
And we’re going to reduce this even further when works are completed on stage 2 of this programme. You can also reach over 100 more destinations across France, Belgium, the Netherlands and Germany with Eurostar Connections.
Eurostar has become the number one choice for trips on the London-Paris and London-Brussels routes. The latest available figures showed that Eurostar have a 66% share of the London-Paris rail/air route, compared with 13% for its nearest competitor, British Airways. On the London-Brussels route, Eurostar has increased its share to 48%, whereas all its competitors saw their share fall. Nearly 1.7 million customers traveled on Eurostar in the final quarter of 2003.
