London's new Eurostar terminal opens on November 14, 2007, switching from Waterloo to St Pancras. Journey times between London and Paris and Brussels will be cut, but tickets will also go on sale for fast and cheap trains to Europe from 68 towns and cities across Britain. UK train stations from Aberdeen to York, including Manchester, Birmingham, Derby, Peterborough, Rugby, Wigan, Newcastle, Liverpool and Leeds, will be offering budget through-ticketing with fares as cheap as £67 return.

These cheap train tickets also go on sale by phone from November 14th, 2007, (and online from mid-December) and will be available not only through Eurostar but from any of their British Rail network partners: Virgin Trains, East Midlands Trains, First Capital Connect, London Midland and Chiltern Railways. Travelers can expect to find bargain tickets from other sources too, like tour companies, so it will pay to shop around, just as it does with cheap plane tickets.

In many cases journey times from door to door will be quicker than by flying, bearing in mind that the Eurostar train takes you right to the heart of Paris, at the Gare du Nord. If traveling the other way, London's St Pancras Station is also in the city centre, saving a train journey from Heathrow, Gatwick, Luton or Stansted.
