Hey

When using the recommended timetables, is the timezone UTC (GMT) used in UK and Portugal, or is it UTC+1 (GMT+1) used for the rest of europe?

I need to know mainly because my eurostar train gets to Paris at 16:50 and I need to get a sleeper train to Munich, leaving at 20:20.

If the timetable uses UTC = I have 3 hours 30 minutes between trains

If the timetable uses UTC+1 = I have 2 hours 30 minutes between trains

Also, the arrival time for the Eurostar is 16:50. Is that UTC or is that UTC +1?

Can someone please let me know.

Thanks

The times in the timetables are always local time, thus the timetables in central europe are UTC+1.
Also the arrival time for Eurostar trains is always local time. Consequently you have 3h30 for changing trains (more than enough to get from Gare du Nord to Gare de l'Est). ;)
