Eurostar is one of the best services of the high speed rails which run from central London (St Pancras station) to central Paris (Garu du Nord). The service is available all the 7 days all around the year, except during Christmas days.

Eurostar is the service offered which runs every hour from London to Paris and every couple of hours from London to Brussels. You can reach from London to Paris in about 2 hours and 15 minutes and in 1 hour and 51 minutes from London to Brussels.

The journey time of Eurostar and Eurostar timetable best matches or beats the flights and makes it a best alternative to air travel for holidays in Europe. If you live in London then instead of enduring a 40 minute trip to Heathrow, you can make it to Waterloo Station in just 10 minutes. This saves your time and thus shortening your trip also. Eurostar schedule is in such a way that a brief 20 minutes of the Eurostar journey is actually spent in the Channel Tunnel. The rest of the journey spent in passing through the countryside of Kent and northern France.

The Eurostar’s rail network is not very extensive and you can easily find more train connections at the downside when you're going anywhere other than London, Paris and Brussels. There will be more plans ahead which will provide you more ease and comfort. The day is not very far when you can catch a sleeper from London and wake up exactly in Rome.

Today travelling in a train is easily the most civilized and stress-free way to reach France. You can get on Eurostar from London to Paris or Lille, then take a 186mph TGV (Train à Grande Vitesse or High Speed Train) to Avignon, Marseille, Nîmes, Montpellier, Perpignan, Lyon, Bordeaux, Rennes or Nantes. This will be a great experience for you through countryside.

You can also save time this way, taking a late afternoon Eurostar to Paris and then a couchette on the overnight 'Train Bleu' from Paris to Cannes, Antibes, Nice or Monte Carlo. Make sure to check out the Eurostar train times before you make the booking.
