Eurostar introduces single fares from £35

Eurostar has today introduced single fares from London to Paris/Brussels from £35.

In order to look for the single fares, travellers need to click on the  new 'one way' option on the Eurostar website, eurostar.co.uk. 

Commenting on the new single fares, Nick Mercer, Eurostar’s Commercial Director, said: “We want to help travellers who are planning a tour of Europe or who need the flexibility to return by a different route, by making low priced single fares available.

“We hope this greater range of fare options will allow travellers to make even more use of Europe’s high-speed rail network and exploit the environmental advantages of train over plane for seamless rail journeys.”

Eurostar said it will continue to offer its lead-in return fare of £59 but that it has also removed several of its ticketing conditions from its standard return fares, such as Saturday Night Away, One Night Away, Midweek Day Return and Weekend Day Return.

Under its Tread Lightly environmental plan, Eurostar has set a target of reducing CO2 emissions by 35% per traveller journey by 2012, compared with 2007.

Eurostar is also a founder member of Railteam, an alliance of Europe’s leading high-speed train operators that is developing simpler ways to book and travel on the fast-expanding, European high-speed rail network.
