Eurostar schreef:Eurostar, the high-speed passenger train operator between the UK and the continent, today (6 August) announced that more than 110,000 passengers have booked to travel on High Speed 1 in the period between the opening of St Pancras International on 14 November and Christmas.
In the first two weeks of ticket sales, advance bookings are more than double the same period last year. Demand is coming from both business travellers and leisure passengers seeking faster, more reliable and greener journeys between the UK and the continent - on High Speed 1, the UK’s first 186 mph line.
With 100 days to go until the launch of services from Eurostar’s new London terminal at St Pancras International, the first trains to Paris and Brussels on 14 November are sold out. Almost 90% of Standard Class tickets were snapped up at Eurostar’s lowest price of £59 return.
Seats in Business Premier are in strong demand, with significant growth in premium passengers switching to a more productive and less frustrating alternative to air travel. From 14 November, business travellers will for the first time be able to reach the centres of both Paris and Brussels before 9am without journeying the night before.
High Speed 1 will cut journey times by at least 20 minutes, with non-stop times of London-Paris in 2h15m and London-Brussels in 1h51m. Travelling at 186mph, Eurostar trains will be 50% faster than the fastest UK domestic rail service.
The move to St Pancras International will open up Eurostar services to the UK regions. Evidence from continental high-speed networks shows that business travellers prefer rail over air for trips of up to four hours, while leisure travellers favour trains for journeys up to six hours. High Speed 1 will provide people in southern England and the Midlands with very competitive door-to-door journey times to the continent, via a connection in London.
