Eurostar adds trains after rise in demand

EUROSTAR is adding more rail services between the UK and the continent in response to growing demand following the relaxation of travel restrictions.

It will expand schedules from September 6 after the removal of quarantine for fully vaccinated travellers from France to the UK and the easing of restrictions for travel to Belgium and the Netherlands.

A new timetable, running until November 1, will see eight daily return services, with five in each direction on the London to Paris route and three in each direction between London and Brussels, with one each way extended to Rotterdam and Amsterdam.

All tickets are flexible with no exchange fee up to seven days before departure. Fares start from £39 each way.
