About Eurostar

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. Eurostar directly links London, Ashford, Paris, Brussels, Lille, Avignon, Calais, Disneyland Resort Paris and the French Alps. You can also reach over 100 more destinations across France, Belgium, the Netherlands and Germany with Eurostar Connections.

Eurostar Review

This train was the first in my set and i loved it!!! It was fun to see how fast you can get without making roll of the track around the corner. I reccommend this train to any one. its fun to maintane the train plus the track. Hope you like it to.

Eurostar to Avignon

Travelling as the guest of Eurostar and Eurostar Holidays recently to their new destination of Avignon, in the heart of Provence, gave me the opportunity to try their food, served to all passengers travelling 1st Class. The journey, some seven hundred miles, takes passengers from Waterloo station to the walled city of Avignon, a cultural capital of Provence, a veritable jewellery collection of Michelin starred restaurants, vineyards and views to simply savour.
