Tickets on sale for new Eurostar routes
Tickets go on sale today (Friday) for Eurostar’s new year-round service to Lyon, Avignon and Marseille.
Tickets for the new year-round route start at £89 return for Lyon and £99 return for Avignon and Marseille, with up to five services a week, depending on the time of year.
Passengers travelling from France back to the UK can board their train without having to arrive 30 minutes before departure, because check-in, security and immigration checks will take place at Lille Europe, where customers leave the train before continuing the journey to Ashford and London.
Lille Europe has recently re-opened following extension and refurbishment in preparation for the new services.
