Eurostar is one of the most famous and most recognisable train services in the world. They're well known for their modern and fast fleet, but they still have some of the original Class 373/E300/TMST trains running on select services to Brussels and Paris. I took one in Standard Premier and covered my experience. Enjoy the video!

The Eurostar to Brussels is a blessing. I live in Aachen, Germany, and I travel to London several times a year. The airplane takes about 6h door to door counting German trains, the Stansted Express, and whatnot. Instead with the Thalys/ICE and the Eurostar I can make it in about 5h20 door to door, and I don’t even feel tired, I’m ready for the action on arrival. The prices tend to be quite high though and there’s very limited chances for onward travel if you take the last train to Brussels…

In 1999, on the way back from London, we missed our connection to Cologne (Thalys) due to the delay of the Eurostar in Brussels. Since it was the last train to Cologne that day, the return journey turned into an odyssey. We even had to take a taxi from Aachen to Cologne.

These are fairly new German trains which replaced the original TGV Eurostar. I love St Pancras, used to go for nights out in London & would arrive in the old dark space just as they were starting construction on the extension. They kept the trains running for the most part which was an amazing feat!

re: the Any Belgian station ticket you mention, I did a brilliant hack with it last year: use it to get from London to Arlon, the final stop in Belgium before Luxembourg. Then in Luxembourg, all the trains are free. Then use a 7 euro ticket from the Luxembourg border to Trier in Germany, which has a direct service from Luxembourg... so you've gone from London to Trier, in Germany's Rhineland, for very little more than the price of going to Brussels. You only need to change at Brussels and in Luxembourg.

The Caley Sleeper is unreliable and often has delays as well as equipment failures on the Mk5 stock such as en-suites not working properly (if at all). It's not unheard of for the Club Car to run out of food or to have things like the coffee machine broken. I'd avoid it. E* on the other hand, is a far better operation.

We booked standard premiere from Paris to London in June, 2022. Our TGV from Turin was delayed, and we missed the connection we’d booked. There was a rail strike in Britain,so service was limited. We ended up getting rebooked in standard on the last train scheduled for the day. It was disappointing not to get the amenities you describe, but I’m really glad to have had the experience of the Chunnel.

Shame you didn't get into the business lounge - it's quite fun to compare the different lounges at the different Eurostar terminals. The Brussels one has Belgian Trappist beers, the St Pancras one has a cocktail bar and British beers, and the French one is very wine focused. You can also get in with a carte blanche (top tier Eurostar loyalty card) or the equivalent from SNCF, DB, Thalys etc (which are generally easier to get).

Nice! I took my son to Paris for a day trip a few years ago. Couple of days before we went, I got a message that our return train was cancelled. So I went to St Pancras, spoke to the guy there, who put us on the later train (no problems with that), and then said "And I'll see if I can get you upgraded to standard premier". Result! They even got us a Kosher meal. Wasn't worth paying the extra for IMHO (the regular standard class seats are fine given the journey is about 2h15m) - but was nice as a free upgrade! I think Business Premier also has a better wine selection possibly. And things under the sea... I once rang a friend's Ring doorbell and he answered it from under The Channel!

I travelled on Eurostar just last Friday from Rotterdam to London in Standard Premier. Can confirm they still have not sorted out the menu. That aside, the food was tasty, service was great, seat comfortable, wifi worked (until we got to England) and check-in was nice and straight forward. Wish the departure lounge in Rotterdam was a bit more spacious. All-in-all, I enjoyed the trip and will probably use it again.

Traveled on Eurostar last year from St. Pancras to Gare du Nord and it was a perfectly fine experience. We were in standard class, which was quite adequate, the train was on time and, despite scary looking lines (queues) at St. Pancras, the security and immigration process was efficient and relatively quick. It was Jubilee holiday so the station was packed. Still, Eurostar handled it well and I’ll absolutely use the service again in the future.

I miss traveling on the Eurostar for work. The 17:30 to Paris GDN and 18:01 GDN to St Pancras was my usual bi-monthly fare for a good 6 years. The joys of getting ginned up in the Business class lounge and getting Carte Blanche points reminded me of the good times. The renovated lounge at Gare Du Nord is perfect for a post-work Mojito after you've missed your train because of delays on the Line 4! Boarded on at Lille Europe after a changeover from a TGV at Avignon once and I have to say that the facilities were more spartan than at Brussels. It also throws the meal service because you're used to having your aperitifs served the moment you leave Paris, with your main meal dispensed by the time you get to the slag heaps surrounding Lille! Eurostar reminds me of a time before Teams teleconferences and actually meeting people face to face to have productive meetings. That and the fact that I used to keep the bottles of wine in my bag for cooking when I needed to drive once I got back to the South West. Long days but great service.

I've used it several times traveling to/from both Paris and Brussels.

If i want to buy some drinks in Standard Premier, the cost would be peanuts compared to the savings. Definitely inspired me to give Standard Premier a go.

In 1995 , my wife and I , on my wife's first time out of Australia , telephoned booked seats from London to Paris on the brand new Eurostar. When I was making the reservation , the lovely lady at the other end of the line advised that we should not travel at the time we wanted as England were playing France in a "friendly" that night and it would be more prudent to travel on the following train .... Wise advice. We have since traveled on the Eurostar in 2000 , 2004 and enjoyed every moment.

I still find it fantastic that the major capitals of Europe are connected by high speed rail!! Including a link under the sea and it isn’t even that new anymore, meanwhile in North America, no HSR yet

I went to Scotland for vacation this year and I gladly took the train, since I'm too tall to be comfortable on flights inside Europe. While the journey took 2 days in each direction, I made the best of it and stayed in London for 2 nights on the way to Scotland and another 3 nights in Paris on my way back (without bringing home bed bugs). The Eurostar is possibly the most comfortable European high-speed train and the staff was great, especially on the way back. My only complaint is St Pancras station. It needs more seating and bins. Seeing how passengers might spend several hours there, it's just not enough.

One thing people forget is that if you get eurostar in belgum the ticket will also cover any other trains on that day.

Been lucky enough to travel on Eurostar from Waterloo and St Pancras, been to Lille and Paris, found the former "new" but usable tbh

Haha that’s funny, I did the exact same journey on an e300 on Tuesday 😂 It was great fun (albeit in Standard not Premier) In fact, looking at the dates, I went London-Brussels on the same day you went Brussels-London! What are the chances 😂

Never travelled on Eurostar before, but it's been something that I've wanted to do for a while now. Just need to find somewhere in Europe with easy reach to Eurostar that I want to visit, and book up

St Pancras to Brussels. Line in St Pancras was very long. Doesn't look like much of a wait in Brussels. We traveled in July though.

I've travelled to Paris, Lille and Disneyland direct using Disneys Express Service where we got our park tickets on the train and simply dropped our baggage off at the station and headed straight into the parks 😊

I managed to grab two return seats from St. Pancras to Amsterdam in November. Really looking forward to our three day trip. Any recommendations for places to stay near Amsterdam station?

Got one of these in standard just 2 days ago. My seat was broken but there were plenty of empty seats. Great ride but weirdly stopped at Lille even tho it wasn't advertised. Said it was stopping at ebsfleet and then didn't. I prefer the E320s but each to their own.

The feel of an e300 is just so much better than an e320, even post refurb. Much less cramped, much better sightlines, and all in all feels much more relaxed. I wish I got to use them more often!

I've never taken the Eurostar, but really want to. Not sure whether to get it to France, Belgium or the Netherlands though...

I have traveled by Eurostar! My first time from London to Paris. I stayed in Paris 6-7 hrs on a day trip while on a UK 2 week trip from the US. Early August and my second trip to the UK. I was in Standard Class and the ride out was great,but Eurostar changed all carriage numbers at the last minute and I was told while I sat waiting to leave.🙄
