Paris this summer? Book your train today!

It’s all kicking off in Paris this summer! And from London, it’s just a hop, skip and jump away. Ok, not literally, but a 2-hour train ride is pretty close, right?

So we wanted to give you a heads up that Eurostar tickets will go fast. Not quite 200-metre-sprint-world-record fast, but still, fast.

Basically, if you’re going to Paris, you should book ASAP.

If your plans change, your ticket can change too.

Eurostar Standard, Standard Premier and Comfort tickets are now exchangeable fee-free up to one hour before your train is scheduled to depart. What's more, these tickets are now refundable up to 7 days before departure!

For exchanges, you'll pay the difference in fare if your new ticket is more expensive; if your new ticket is cheaper than the original, you won't be refunded the difference.

For more information, check out Eurostar's aftersales conditions.

Your European trips just got simpler: Eurostar and Thalys have joined forces under the Eurostar name!

London, Paris, Brussels, Amsterdam and Cologne are just some of the destinations that are within reach as Eurostar expands across the continent.

There are now two types of Eurostar trains: Eurostar’s classic blue trains for journeys to/from the United Kingdom, and red trains (formerly Thalys trains) for all other trips to France, Belgium, the Netherlands and Germany.

So, what’s changed? 😎

✔ You’ll be able to buy tickets for all routes that used to be operated by Thalys with Eurostar (for example, trains from Paris to Amsterdam)

✔ There will be 2 separate sets of Eurostar travel classes: Standard, Comfort and Premium for trains in Europe, and Standard, Standard Premier and Business Premier for trains to/from London.

✔ Boarding the train will look different depending on where you’re headed: if you’re travelling to/from the United Kingdom, you’ll need to check-in and go through security

✔ All travellers, regardless of destination, can sign up to Club Eurostar (Eurostar’s loyalty scheme).

Fun facts about the Chunnel

There's more than one tunnel, there's actually three. Two for trains and one for service access.
The two train tunnels are 24-feet in diameter with the northern tunnel taking passengers from England to France. Whilst the southern tunnel carries passengers from France to England.
The rock removed during construction of the Chunnel was used to make Samphire Hoe Park, now a flourishing nature reserve.
Chris Froome cycled through the service tunnel, completing the journey in just 55 minutes!
At its deepest point the tunnel is 75m below the seabed.
The average journey time through the Chunnel is 35 minutes.
It cost £15 billion to build; the original budget was £3.6 billion.
During construction some 13,000 people were employed to build the tunnel.
Way before the Chunnel was built, the first design for it was completed in 1802.
Each year 26 million red roses are delivered through the Chunnel to the UK.

From 2 April 2024, all passengers who buy a Eurostar ticket between Paris and London must provide certain information about their identity before departure:

Full name
Date of birth
Gender
Nationality
Type of document (passport in the vast majority of cases)
Passport or ID card number, as well as issue and expiry dates

Please note: because a passport is compulsory for travel to England, you will not receive your tickets without providing this information. There are only a few exceptions where an Identity Card is still authorised (British residents).
