Eurostar

Outward: London St Pancras 08.34 - Brussels 11.29
Return: Brussels 18.59 - London St Pancras 19.56

Sorry Poolie, last question I promise!

I have now booked the eurostar that can't be changed but these are the new train times.

Outward: Bristol 04.47 - London Paddington 06.24

Return: London Paddington 21.15 - Bristol 23.06

Total: £66.50

But will those times leave me enough time to get on the tubes and get to St Pancras? I'm more worried about the evening one cuz the eurostar gets in at 8pm and I don't know whether 1hr 15 will be enough time to get off the train and navigate the tubes etc.

Oh I'm so excited!!!

Just booked the Eurostar from the 18th - 20th Dec and it only cost £115 for the 2 of us! We are going at 7pm on the Friday and arriving back at 8pm on the Sunday so no annual leave required, and as we arein Reading it won't take too long to get home.

Think we will spend the Fri night in Brussels and then head to Bruges on the Saturday. Yay! :j

An hour and a half at 8pm is far to much time. You only need 30 minutes. You are getting onto the circle line and going 5 stops (I think).

I can see the tickets for £50 per person return. How are you getting £66.50!

The Train to London should be £30 per person. The train to Bristol should be £20! The 21:15 always requires a change. There is a 21:45 which gets in at 23:33 which is direct so could go to sleep.

Ok I'll see if there's an earlier train in the evening.

Is £66.50 not for all 3 people?! I'm so confused!!

This is the times and prices I've got... hopefully this link will work...

I emailed you it at your ntl address, have a look. It makes me sad.

Hang on Zig. Are we talking 2 or 3 people?

Link does not work.

You are still looking at £50 per person return!

There is a train at 20:45 but that might be a push.
