Hello,

I am using an Eurail pass this summer and will be traveling Paris to London and then back into the Eurail zone to Brussels. Do I need to pay for both single train tickets as separate from the Eurail pass, or just the Eurostar train to London from Paris? Thank you for your help.

Hi,

The eurostar is not included in your interrail pass. The pre-booking options are usually cheaper than the Interrail discount package. I would suggest over-night busses with Ouibus/Megabus if the Eurostar would be to expensive.

Ok, the tickets for the eurostar weren't too pricy and I prefer going via train but you definitely have to take the eurostar from London to Brussels and it is not Eurail viable? Thanks

Hi!

Eurostar trains are not included in the Eurail pass, but a special passholder fare is offered from 118€ in 2nd class.
Usually you are better off buying cheaper advance fare tickets though. Look at [u]https://rail.shop/sncb/[/u] for tickets from Paris/to Brussels.

Hi.
A bit more to read... :)

Video of the Eurostar train Brussels-London:[ux]https://rail.cc/blog/eurostar-brussels-london-video[/ux]

A nice option from the UK in direction of Belgium/Netherlands is the ferry here: [ux]https://rail.cc/blog/from-london-to-amsterdam-with-the-dutchflyer[/ux]

And finally a guide by Wouter for London: [ux]https://rail.cc/blog/london-three-days/[/ux]

If you want to save travel days on your Eurail pass, you can also use one of the cheap buses. I'm not a fan of it, but it is an option to mention, as Eurostar is expensive (but fast).
