What would we do without Eurostar? It provides the traveller between the capitals of the UK, France, Belgium and the Netherlands with a civilised terrestrial link. Surely only a fool with little regard for the planet would fly from London to Paris, Brussels or Amsterdam?
Well, that depends how price-sensitive the traveller turns out to be. Eurostar has a “lead-in” fare of £39 one-way from London St Pancras International to Paris or Brussels. But, says reader Paul Byrne: “Trying to get one of these low-cost tickets is near-impossible. I understand they have dynamic pricing, but why are they so expensive?”
