Train home to the UK

Posted 11 years ago

I live in the UK and from the information I have read the inter-rail pass will not be valid for me in the UK. I want to travel home from Amsterdam by train. Is this possible with my inter-rail ticket or will I have to pay for a point to point ticket at the time? Or is it possible to ride as far as the UK border on the inter-rail pass and then buy a point to point ticket on the day in the UK?

Thanks in advance for any help or advice you can give?

Hi.
As train connection to the UK you only have the Eurostar train - which has an extra reservation fee of EUR 75! :o
Usually pre-booked special fare tickets are even cheaper.
Or as option: use the ferry, either Hoek van Holland to Harwich (Stenalines also offer special ferry+rail tickets).
Or the ferry Calais-Dover ... or a bus ...
Just check the schedules: [u]https://rail.cc/en/interrail/amsterdam-to-london[/u]
Have a look as well on the schedules Brussels-London and Paris-London.
And please help us to help you with the information on railcc - buy your official Interrail pass via our partner link [ux]https://rail.shop/interrail[/ux] - as it is not fair to ask at railcc for support and buy somewhere else. Thank you!

Peter :)
