New Eurostar deals now makes high speed travel in Britain a reality

People living outside greater London can now enjoy traveling across Britain as Eurostar promises high speed connectivity with the introduction of through rail fares to mainland Europe from 68 towns and cities across Britain from November 14, 2007.
Eurostar has struck deals with East Midlands Trains, First Capital Connect, GNER and Virgin Trains to sell return fares to Paris, Brussels, Lille, Disneyland Resort Paris, 75 connecting destinations across France and to any station in Belgium.
Standard class, return leisure fares to Paris, Brussels and Disneyland Resort Paris will start from between £67 and £92, for travel from major stations across Britain such as Birmingham, Cambridge, Edinburgh and Nottingham.
Travellers will be able to buy tickets at prices that are as attractive as those offered by regional airlines; and with up to 17 connecting rail services a day to Paris and up to 10 a day to Brussels, travellers will have plenty of choice about when they travel.
City centre-to-city centre journey times by train will in many cases match or even beat those of taking the plane. Rail travellers will enjoy the time-saving advantages of bypassing journeys to and from out-of-town airports, half-hour check-in (10 minutes for business travellers) for Eurostar services, and avoiding baggage reclaim because they carry their luggage with them.
Through fares are available up to 90 days in advance, in line with UK train operators’ booking horizons.
