Eurostar – High Speed Kent to Europe |
|
Eurostar services from Ebbsfleet International Station on High Speed One, Britain’s first high speed rail line, now provide a direct link to France and Belgium. Early morning services to Paris, Brussels and Lille are timed to ensure that business travellers can reach their destination in time to do a full day’s work.
There are 7 trains a day to Paris, 5 to Brussels and 4 to Lille. Journey times are 10 minutes shorter than from St Pancras International, at
- 2 hours 5 minutes to Paris
- 1 hour 41 minutes to Brussels, and
- 1 hour 10 minutes to Lille
Adding to the fact that travelling by Eurostar already generates 10 times less CO2 than flying, Eurostar’s ‘Tread Lightly’ initiative will result in all journeys now being carbon neutral at no additional expense to the traveller.
The high-frequency Fastrack bus service provides a direct link between Ebbsfleet International and to local railway stations at Dartford, Greenhithe, Northfleet and Gravesend. This means that travellers can make their entire journey by train and bus. Alternatively, there are 2,500 car park spaces within 5 minutes’ walk of the station.
“Ebbsfleet International is a modern, beautifully designed station which will soon become the fastest way to Europe. It embodies Eurostar’s vision for the future of travel, delivering a seamless journey from departure to destination.”
