Eurostar St Pancras tickets go on sale
Seats go on sale today (Tuesday) for the first high speed Eurostar Channel Tunnel rail services from St Pancras International.
The first trains from Eurostar’s new London base will run on the morning of November 14 with prices starting at £59 return to Paris or Brussels.
Eurostar will switch its London terminal overnight on November 13 from Waterloo to begin services from the newly restored St Pancras station the following morning.
Journey times on High Speed 1, the UK’s first high-speed line from St Pancras, will be London–Paris 2h 15min; London–Brussels 1h 51min; and London-Lille 1h 20min.
Tickets are also on sale for the first trains from Ebbsfleet International, Eurostar’s new station off junction 2 of the M25 near the Dartford crossing and Bluewater shopping centre in Kent.
Ebbsfleet will open on November 19, offering seven trains a day to Paris and five to Brussels.
With two stations in Kent, the number of trains serving the county will increase from 12 to 16 a day. Ashford International will continue to have services to Paris, Lille, Disneyland Resort Paris, Avignon and the French Alps.
The company claims it will become the first train operator in the world to provide ‘carbon neutral’ journeys for all its travellers, at no extra charge.
Under its ‘Tread Lightly initiative’, Eurostar has set a target of further reducing carbon dioxide emissions by 25% per passenger journey by 2012, and will offset emissions that it cannot eliminate at its own expense.
