Capital Style

It’s the peak season for trips across to France, or rather underneath the English channel with Eurostar deals making the trains more fully booked than ever before according to this commentary:

Eurostar Paris trains from London getting busier

I used to wonder what would happen after the Eurostar Paris trains were diverted from the interim Waterloo International station to the new St Pancras and now we are beginning to see the answer. International commuters in their thousands are switching from short haul flights between the two capitals to the fast St Pancras service by Eurostar. Paris has of course been moved 20 minutes closer to London since November last year, but it’s also the higher price of aviation fuel which has driven people away from the troubled terminals at London’s airports. So the situation now on an early weekday morning is that the waiting areas at St Pancras station are chock a block with people heading to Paris in time for a full day’s worth of meetings.

Paris is always an exciting place to visit and the eurostar journey between London and Paris having been made slightly shorter makes all the difference for some trips.
