Eurostar adds more services between London and Paris

Eurostar has announced today that is it boosting its train service between London and Paris. The high speed train operator is set to increase the number of trains travelling between London and Paris to 18 from September this year.

Eurostar is also increasing it's weekend train service, with up to 20 trains on Fridays going to Paris, and 19 trains going to London, starting from 11th July this year.

And the reasons for the new services? Eurostar has attributed the increase in services due to the 'surging demand' from travellers. In April Eurostar announced an increase in passenger numbers, and the demand for high speed rail travel is obviously still thriving.

In December last year, Eurostar opened up it's ticking system which allows potential passengers to connect to St. Pancras International from 68 major towns and cities across the UK, and this strategy has paid dividends, with growth of more than 100% in some regions of north of London.

Simon Montague, Eurostar's Comms Director said that "the increase in services means we have 24,000 seats available between London and Paris on Mondays to Thursdays, and 30,000 seats on Fridays", so great news for all passengers.

So for the best fares for the new services, book your Eurostar tickets as early as possible!
