In 2008 the Eurostar high speed passenger service welcomed 9.1 million travellers which is a 10.3% increase on 2007’s figures. It is thought that shorter journey times to Paris and Brussels are attracting more and more custom along with high levels of punctuality that would put some airlines to shame! It seems that the economic downturn has not yet affected Eurostar and Chief Executive Richard Brown comments, “The uncertainties of the current economic climate reinforce the importance of good value fares and Eurostar’s UK lead-in fare remains at £59 return for the sixth year in a row.”

As a regular traveller between the UK and Brussels, I must say that train and Eurostar is my preferred option. To get the £59 return fares remember to book at least a couple of months in advance. Likewise the UK rail portion of the journey.
