Good Reasons to Travel Eurostar:

Speed
Eurostar travels at a speed of up to 186 miles per hour, this means travelling from the centre of London to the heart of Paris in just 2 h 15 min. In that time frame, air travellers will have just arrived at the airport, checked in and will start boarding their flight.

Convenience
Eurostar travellers avoid airport to city centre long and costly transfers as they arrive at the very heart of their destination. Both London Heathrow and Paris Charles de Gaulle are located about 16 miles outside the city centre and we all know airport transfers can be pretty expensive.

Environmentally Friendly
Over the last ten years Eurostar has carried more than 75 million travellers. If these people had chosen to fly rather than take Eurostar, the short-haul airlines would have had to fly more than 400,000 carbon dioxide producing planes! All Eurostar trains and terminals are non-smoking. Read more on our environmental initiative…

Ease
Travellers with little baggage, like day trippers, can check in with Eurostar in only 30 minutes (and Business Premier fast track is even quicker)! Airline check-ins vary from 1-2 hours for international flights with added security measures being implemented. Beat the lines, skip the airports.

Punctuality
Eurostar's on-time performance averages at 95% comparing favourably against airlines on the route.

Availability
Each 18 car train carries up to 750 passengers - double the capacity of a Boeing 747. With up to 16 departures a day, that means over 10,000 seats to Paris daily; with a time and price to suit everyone's needs.

Awarding Winning Service
Eurostar has been voted best rail service in the world at the World Travel Awards for the last eight years.
