A little bit of good news…
Eurostar has launched a new fare for Interrail travellers. It is a lower, simpler fare that comes as a result of Eurostar joining Eurail Group G.I.E on January 1st 2017.
Fares now start from £23 each way in standard class, meaning Interrailers have access to Paris, Brussels, Lille, Calais and Disneyland Paris directly from London. This is a huge saving and a great alternative to flying out to your first destination.
The new fares qualify under the ‘pass holder’ fare group, which means your Eurostar is discounted from the price displayed online. To book a discounted Eurostar ticket you’ll need to visit a Eurostar station or contact the Eurostar contact centre via phone on 08432 186 186 . More information can be found here.
Darren Williams, Head of Sales, Eurostar says: “Rail is a great way to explore Europe, and Interrail Passes give those from Europe freedom to explore a huge range of destinations on a single trip. Our new partnership offers great value Eurostar fares to Pass holders, so it’s never been easier to use our stylish and comfortable cross-Channel services as part of a European adventure.”
It’s a good option for UK interrailers and is definitely something to mull over when planning your Interrail trip!
