Eurostar to Marseille

New Eurostar service launched today.


Compared return rail prices for two from Edinburgh to Marseille including Eurostar, to Ryanair Edinburgh to Marseille return flights.


Rail £598
Ryanair £150


No contest.


Just thought I'd throw that out there for comments.

    How much is the train in euros booked via a European website such as sncf-voyages.com?
    I'm not sure if they will do the passport control at Lille, will officers go on the train?

    Seat 61 is the fount of wisdom for international rail travel

    I think outbound there is no problem with passport control as you pass a French customs officer at St Pancras. On the return I think everyone has to get off at Lille with their luggage to go through passport checks and get back on again.
