Based on the thumbnail, I came here expecting to see footage of the famed coral reefs of the English Channel.
You didn't watch the video well enough 🙃
UK doesn’t have coral reefs. This is surprising, given its highly tropical climate.
@@Racc00nR1ck Really? When I visited the British Empire’s southern continent, it certainly did feature coral reefs.
@@Racc00nR1ckit does have coral reefs! Just need to know the right people!
@@jasonantigua6825some say they're bad for you 😂
I love the Eurostar! I have travelled on it 5 times and would choose it over flying every time! My destinations were Paris 3 times, Brussels and Disneyland Paris!
Is it overcrowded? I cannot fly because of severe crippling claustrophobia. What was it like travelling through the tunnel?
@@Lilmisscostumedrama nope not overcrowded at all! In fact, it’s one of the most comfortable modes of transport I’ve ever used, and I hate flying too! Driving through the tunnel is fine, you hardly feel a thing! So go for it 🥰🥰
It’s always wonderful to see the architecture of St Pancras station. Thanks to the endeavours of Sir John Betjeman and the other preservationists, travellers are greeted by some of the finest railway architecture in the world. A truly fitting entrance and exit point to London and the United Kingdom! I look forward to seeing further services from the continent using the facilities at St Pancras in the future. I would certainly welcome and support competition to Eurostar. And I’m a strong believer in the connectivity of transport and the opportunity it affords people to explore other destinations and experience different cultures. Especially in these environmentally challenging times.
Completely agree 👍🏻💯
No doubt that St Pancras is one of the most gorgeous stations in the whole of Europe (if not the whole world). Another of my favourites would be Budapest Keleti and Porto São Bento.
Anyway, about the terrible window alignment: one can always avoid those seats if not booking at the last minute. The seat map in the online booking process shows which windows are viewable or not
The seat map isn't that accurate and with frequent set swaps even that can't be reliable
We need a high speed train from Amsterdam to Berlin and a highs speed train from Amsterdam to Hamburg, and further to Copenhagen and Oslo/Stockholm.
Which was your favourite?
Have done London to Paris and back 5 years ago and it was quite crowded in June. Ave is still my fave HST, but I will finally get to try Iryo this summer.
St. Pancreas looks so grand! When a person see it in person, it’s overwhelming. It’s historic yet modern. I definitely need to try the service to Amsterdam. 4 hours is nothing compared to taking Amtrak in America lol great vid!
I took the Eurostar from London to Paris the last time I was in the UK. Loved it.
Finally somebody who travels on Eurostar from UK to Europe. Most of the youtubers go in the opposite direction. Tnx.
Opposite direction like travelling from USA to Pakistan😂
I did London to Brussels. And filmed it
You're welcome 🤗
I used to tell people that the tunnel was a tube on the sea bed with transparent sections so you could see the fish 😂
(I worked on the railway for 35 years and have used Eurostar more times than I can remember).
It does 😆🫶🏻
do your ears pop a lot when in the tunnel?
@@SakuraBlossom06 You can feel the pressure sometimes. I was a submariner so I barely notice it. Easy to deal with.
I did a lot of research on what seat to choose to not have the terrible "view" of a plastic thing instead of a window. It was a painfull process :) Hope that I choose wise. I will do the Paris - London in june, so I will travel for my first time in UK with style :D
Even if I booked the ticket 2-3 monhts in advance, it was quite expansive, I think that June is quite a popular month to travel.
Seat 61 😉
Hint: 4 day interrail tickets start from 194 euros (under 27), slightly more depending on age. Eurostar reservations are 30€ per trip, and can be made short notice as well.
@@irregular_force2602 try making an interrail Eurostar reservation at short notice at any point in June, July or August... It's basically impossible.
One major thing is that the eurostar can only board 200 people per station in the netherlands (so 400 for the entire country) while one train can fit 900 people, driving up the prices. Why? The dutch military police claim they can only check so much people and refuse to increase capacity (eurostar stated multiple times they would like to see a capacity of 600 per station.
Mult succes. De abia astept sa vad videoul.
How about the Swiss alpine villages? I've been on virtual walks with the couple from Zurich. Definitely on my bucket list and they're serviced by train.
I'd definitely like to explore more around there 🤠
I absolutely LOVE St. Pancras. Ever since I saw the documentary about the redevelopment of this terminal back in 2007, I made it a goal to travel there. Now, I've been there so many times and I'm going back in December.
Same 😀
Antwerpen station is a beauty too!
Absolutely!
Re the speed between Brussels and Amsterdam, there are actually two speeds: There is 300 km/h between Antwerp and Amsterdam, and then 160 between Brussels and Antwerp. The short section between these two belgian cities was not upgraded because the expense is not considered worth the while with regard to the expected gain of time.
When I am traveling with Eurostar 🇪🇺.
It looks AMAZING.
I have done 7 return trips on Eurostar since 1998 so the early ones were from Waterloo over ordinary lines before HS1. The first trip was to Paris spending a few days before taking the TGV to Monaco. All other trips were to Brussels, only one of those was to Brussels itself, the remainder being onward connections to The Netherlands or Germany or within Belgium.
I got the Eurostar to Paris in 2004, and then the night train to Berlin. It was a great journey. The return trip was by air which was uncomfortable and not nearly as interesting.
Eurostar is a rail company I would love to try out , whether it's to Paris, brussels or Amsterdam .
love the thumbnail.
😆😆😆
Under da sea 🧜♀🐟
🐠🐟
Just a quick correction: by most popular definitions, Amsterdam’s metro isn’t a light rail system, it’s a heavy rail subway/metro/underground/u-Bahn or whatever you want to call it
Well there was line 51 which was a weird one: half of it (from Amsterdam Centraal until Amsterdam Zuid iirc) was a heavy rail/subway/metro. Then from Zuid until the southern terminus (Westwijk), line 51 would be a light rail/tram. So weird, I know!
Now of course the 51 is a standard metro as the tram bit has been replaced by the 25 which is a proper tram
@@gabrielstravels that’s true but as you said the line was split
@@theexcaliburone5933 I wonder if the reason for the split was exactly because of how unique line 51 was, leading to operational issues!
Wonderful video - thanks - can't wait to ride this route myself!
Nice video! Brussels to Amsterdam used to take forever. For a while, Thalys wasn't able to make any real speed until it got to Brussels. (And, YES!, competition is needed through the tunnel.)
Absolutely 😁
You've done a great job on this (glossing over the rear facing, no-view 'window' seat) and I agree that this is by far the better way to travel between the UK and mainland Europe. DB did attempt to start a through service from Germany, but decided it was worth the commercial risk. In the light of the poor reliability of their multi-voltage ICE sets that turned out to be a wise decision for them.
It's a shame DB never did it
@@NonstopEurotrip Of course I meant to write 'wasn't worth it' 🙄
We have done London to Brussels and London to Paris several times; our first trip was to Brussels in 1995.
Last year we did London to Rotterdam in Premium as part of a tour group. It was pretty good...... BUT Eurostar have nibbled away at the quality of Premium service over the last 20 or so years
Would competition improve their offering OR would it be a race to the bottom
I suspect level of service would stay about the same but prices would go down significantly. I'd be fine with that. The average person will pay a little more than what a flight costs but they will not pay double or triple the price.
As long as it wasn't a race to the bottom of the English channel 🐠🐟
For me the most beautiful train station is Antwerpen Centraal. ❤
I've actually yet to go 😁
Probable Direct lines/trips between London to Luxembourg and Munich; between London to Amsterdam and from here one to Copenhagen and another one to Berlin. And what about a direct line between Lisbon - Madrid - Paris - London. That would awsome
Great and interesting content. I enjoyed watching it and loved it. Keep up the good work. 👍👍👍😍😍😍
Thanks 🙏🏻
The Channel Tunnel (50km = 31ml) opened in 1994.
The Seikan Tunnel (54km = 34ml), an undersea tunnel in Hokkaido, Japan, opened in 1988, so Japanese companies also went to dig the Channel Tunnel.
＝英仏海峡トンネル（50km＝31ml）は1994年に開通しました。
日本の北海道の海底トンネルである青函トンネル（54km＝34ml）が1988年に開通したので、日本の企業も英仏海峡トンネルを掘りに行きました。
I've already filmed a video on it 😺
Thank you for this video it was just ur voice wasnt in there my uncle lives in rotterdam netherlands planning to come next year 2025 from usa to uk then by train to netherlands looking forward to it .
This is the train that I've been wishing to try all of my life
One day?
Another name for the Channel Tunnel is the Chunnel, which everyone is aware of being the common name of it, since Channel and Tunnel are spelt the same, so they combined the 2 words into 1 thus giving it the name Chunnel
Said no one since 1999
I've never heard it called that, and I've travelled on it many times.
Thank you for the video. I have done Eurostar once to Brussels and once to Paris from Waterloo. Now as I live in Aberdeen, I rarely travel by train. May be one of these days will try Eurostar again.
Thanks for sharing!
With the merger of Eurostar and Thalys, I think you could soon see direct service between London and Köln. I used Thalys several times between Paris and Köln. I don't know what the line voltage in the UK is, so that would be the only limiting factor if there isn't current rolling stock that can handle all of the different voltage levels (without catching fire!).
HS1 is 25kV, so compatible, but idk if the will is there atm
The deutche bahn also had permission to run in the uk and trough the tunnel (from the uk and eurotunnel, i dont know if they had permission for the french and belgian bits (ice trains run in both of these countries)), but that failed, tough i dont know the particular reason.
@@daanwolters3751 From Rail Insider on 26/2/2021 : “Why did a German DB ICE high speed train visit London St Pancras station in October 2010 but then DB never started operating to and from the UK?”
His response, in front of many conference attendees (including the EU Commission), was: “There were too many technical difficulties.”
From earlier discussions, it would appear that these technical difficulties involved both the trains and arrangements for border checks.
DB planned to use two 200-metre-long trains, coupled together, for the service. Eurotunnel requires trains to be a minimum length - to ensure that at least some portion of a stranded train will be next to an emergency escape cross-tunnel - and that the train can be split in the middle if a technical problem occurred, allowing half of the train, with all of the passengers, to be driven out, away from danger. While the two coupled-together DB trains would be long enough, passengers wouldn’t be able to pass along the aisles from one train into the other, so they would neither be able to access the emergency tunnels nor move into the undamaged section of the train for retrieval. In addition, DB planned to make cross-border checks - passports and customs - on board the train. However, the UK Government was apparently insisting that all passengers be disembarked at Lille and go through border checks there, adding a long delay to the ‘high-speed’ service.
I’m hoping for a train from London to Koln as well, even when travelling to Koln by road I watched the high speed line being built, that was many years ago.
Just came back from London to Patis on the Eurostar. Travelled steerage. Train filthy. Windows too dirty to see through. Central overhead sceen had never been cleaned in years. Toilet unhygenic and no water to wash hands. Electric sockets not working and wifi very sporadic. However train on time! One other comment, when is Gare de Nord going to match St Pancras? Eurostar seems to be going downhill lately. Not a good first impression of France. Add to that the one hour wait for a taxi….Still train travel is more relaxing and gets you from city centre to city centre. Much better than flying.
😬😬😬😬😬 that's why they need competition!
Post some India videos this weekend. I have specially followed you for those haha! Great one this though. Saw this UK EU trip for the first time. Interesting!
Soon my friend 😁
@@NonstopEurotrip :D See you soon
Great video !!
Thank you for the video! I will be taking this exact route this summer.
Have fun!
You had a very different experience at the St. Pancras Eurostar terminal than I had last week when I travelled to Paris. The terminal was dangerously overcrowded with no where to sit and very little standing room. They only switched on the AC when people started to faint. They let far too many people into the restricted space.
That's mad!!!
@@NonstopEurotrip Is echt zo en als je geen Lounge toegang hebt, is het zeker erg vol! PS: jouw vlog is van 2021! Iets andere tijden.
Nice,I love London and Amsterdam as my family wanted to go there.
I’ve done Calais to London back in 2016 in June I’m going to do Amsterdam to London
Brilliant video and thank you for showing what it is like first hand
No problem 👍
Blows my mind that in 4hrs you not only travel across into a 2nd continent but also across multiple countries 😮 as an Australian I can spend 4hrs travelling and still be in the same state 🤣 granted high speed rail is non existent in Aus with 160kmh being max speed our trains travel at. definitely plan to use the Eurostar one day
Believe it or not, the UK is still in Europe, we didn't leave it, yet 😬
@@NonstopEurotrip let me rephrase 🤣 “mainland Europe” 🤣🤣
Wi-fi seems to be slow on must trains, I’m of to Lille in January and Rotterdam in March. Can’t wait it’s about 5 years since I’ve been on Eurostar.
Have fun!
Have travelled from London to Brussels by the Eurostar. Was a good experience. Have also traveled by TGV (not so great) and Thalys (very good).
Good video. Maybe more directional video on navigating from London Underground station to Eurostar entry point.
You can see it from the underground exit 😁
Thanks for this, a friend is traveling this route soon, much appreciated.
Glad it was helpful!
Wish we had stuff like this in nz.... Man, we barely use trains, let alone fast ones that go under the sea🌊😍
Would be great to have a high-speed nonstop link from Auckland to Christchurch 😎👌🏻
Great and informative video! I will be taking that train soon!
Have fun!
When you went up the stairs outside Paddington station is sounded like you're wearing slippers 😅😅😅
Paddington?
He was wearing swimming fins of course. Remember, this is a trip under the sea.
Thank you for this video. I would like to see a direct link from germany to london too. Maybe one day... We'll see.
One day, maybe!
Awesome! I like the Eurostar
Rumour has it that the French insisted on rear facing seats as they felt uncomfortable going forward.
Same as most of Europe then
Thank you
You're welcome
Right, so let's encourage TH-cam's algorithm a little. 🙂
As in regards to what is a beautiful railway station, Amsterdam Centraal isn't half bad either, you know. And what's this: you're gushing over the train shed at St Pancras, but don't mention the one in Amsterdam? What kind of person are you? 😃
On a more serious note, a lot of people think that Antwerpen Centraal is possibly the most beautiful railway station in the world, and while I haven't seen the inside with my own eyes, it is indeed very nice.
The yellow diesel locomotive at 10:05 appears to be a SNCF Infra 75000, in case anyone was wondering. I was, so I looked it up.
The station that moves into view at 16:20 is Amsterdam RAI, I would take the train, metro or tram there when I still lived in Amsterdam.
And the locomotive at 13:20 is what's so great about railways inside the European Union these days. 25 years ago, the first private freight operator (ACTS) started in the Netherlands, as the first competitor of NS. However, after the "Single European Railway Directive 2012" (2012/34/EU), this opened up the European railways for any and all private and state-owned operators. And that's why there is a Captrain locomotive pulling a freight train, instead of an NS one. (I'm simplifying things a bit.)
Which neatly brings us to the competition issue. Yes, we need more operators on the tracks that Eurostar has a near monopoly on. We can see how competition in Italy, France and Spain leads to a better or cheaper product for the consumer. And with public transport, it's the consumer's interest that should be the most important, not the vested interests of the large operators.
One last comment: judging from the fact that Eurostar are serving Irish cider instead of British, I'm hazarding a guess that they're operating from inside the European Union. Just in case anybody was wondering whether they're better off.
Thanks so much for the detailed comments 😁
I'm hopefully going to London next year for a week! First time I'm going with Eurostar, I'm a tiny bit worried the train will leave when I'm waiting in Line for check ins. But planning on arriving an hour or 2 in advanced, Haha.
2 hour before departure will be more than enough time. I've done it with 45 mins before
Favorite station: Estacion Nord in Valencia, Spain (although not quite the same scale)
Agree, it's very beautiful 😍
From Frankfurt to London would be cool.
Did London- Paris on Eurostar. Just so good CBD to CBD.
Great trip report
That's one I have done, at least as far as Brussels. Was disappointed with all the noise barriers blocking the view of the countryside. But it's smooth and easy.
True story ✌🏻
Trains in the Channel Tunnel are legally only allowed to operate at 160km/h. Thats generally the case with most “high speed” rail tunnels.
Hardly true is it. Nearly all Japanese, Italian, Spanish, French HSR tunnels are 300kmh
That what I thought. The one time I have travelled Eurostar to Brussels and back it was much slower through the tunnel than above ground, so it wasn’t high speed under the sea.
Great trip. Some of seating with misalignment windows is bit downside, but overall still great.
Thanks, I agree about the windows!!
Great video!!! Thanks!
Really appreciate it 🙂😊😊😸😸😸
Here's how the rebranding process will pan out:
This Eurostar service -> Eurostar Blue
The ones formerly known as Thalys -> Eurostar Red
Indeed.
I m going for first with eurostar this weekend from Rotterdam to London ,
Have fun!
Thank you for the review mate. I am using your video as research on which seat to choose, on which side for my own first journey this September. The right one seems to be the best with views over Medway and some awesome Dutch and Belgian scenery but i think it misses the approach into Rotterdam, with the skyscrapers. I am torn, haha. I did some research on which seats to choose and I choose seat 61 (no joke) :D It's the same window alignment on each carriage as far as I can see, as long as I am travelling with a 320 and not a 300. Which I believe I will not. There is some amazing info from Seat61, and the units with their premier class on the end of the train are the 320 and the one in the middle is the 300. WIll see if I chose wisely in September :D
300s never run to Amsterdam, so you will be ok with that. Glad to be of help! ✌🏻
@@NonstopEurotrip Perfect!! I am so looking forwarded to the trip now!
The Eurostar I travelled by between London St Pancras and Brussels touched 319 kmph
Not possible, the line speed is 300kmh
@@NonstopEurotrip hmm, inside the UK it touched only 199-200 kmph but after crossing the Chunnel into France where I think।the maximum speed was 320 kmph it did 319-320 kmph. Or has the speed been reduced after 2019???
Dam this looks so amazing 😍
Just the problem i think is, few space Between legs and no window 🪟
Yeahhhhhh
very informative video - thank you! I have already booked tickets for London-Amsterdam route but now am considering a stop in Brussels for a few days. Would the train stop long enough for us to get off at Midi station?
Yes, you can get off at Brussels, it's a scheduled stop.
Does this go to Norway as well?
No
My main complaint with the Eurostar ia that the seats are fixed and cannot be rotated to face forward in the direction of travel. It felt weird going in a reverse directon.
As are 99% of European trains. We just don't care here.
@NonStop Eurotrip why was that Eurostar TMST trainset on track 4 instead of the Eurostar terminal? The Eurostar to Amsterdam i understand
I literally have no idea 😆
Love what you paid for the ticket, to catch the 11.04 train I'd have to travel peak time to St Pancras, from Ashford International, fare would be £44.90 ... that's more than your fare to Amsterdam. Also, on departure from London I would spend the next 38 minutes retracing my journey back to Ashford .... wow! As for new services, Nightjet London to Berlin & Milan would be ideal (Better still Birmingham & London, via Stratford International.
There are special fares from most stations in Britain to a destination called London International (CIV), for use with onward Eurostar tickets. They are usually a similar price to a regular off-peak ticket to London, but with more generous peak restrictions if you need to leave early on a Monday-Friday and with CIV protection for missed connections with Eurostar if your UK train runs late.
Sometimes Standard premier is not much more expensive than the standard, and there used to be good upgrade options at the website. But agreed Eurostar is expensive now.
True, but that tends to be when standard is expensive 🫰
Another great video. Does train allow food and drink prior to boarding?
Yes, absolutely
I’ve seen a few stations around the world ,so I’d have to say the new Moynihan Train Station in New York is the most beautiful.
I’m curious to know how far one can travel from St Pancras station. Many rail journeys in the US are long distance and can take twenty four hours or more, but in Europe trains and distances are not as long.
This is one of the longest routes at 4hr. There's seasonal trains that go to France that I think can take up to 6 or something. But these are all high speed routes that go 300km/h. There's no regular trains you could compare to Amtrak that leave St Pancras and travel very long. Only thing that comes to might is the Caledonian Sleeper from London Euston to Scotland that takes from 10pm to 8am, but it is a sleeper. The same thing in most of Europe, sleepers do make long routes but "regular" trains don't go that far. Some years ago you could take a 2-day train from Amsterdam to Moscow, I remember, but those times are long gone...
None are running atm
Train cartridge looked empty..... would it be possible/cheeky to move into a better seat or do they come around checking tickets???
You can sit in available seats
Has the Eurostar to Marseille been reinstated yet?
Next year at the earliest, I believe?
Might be a little late on the video but.. I'm curious since i'm looking into visiting a friend on a weekend that i havent seen in years in the uk.. What exactly did they check for before you boarded the train? I know that they'll ask for a passport but I've only traveled a couple times internationally and I kind of want to be prepared for my first journey alone :)
Passport and visa, if required.
I was a bit flabbergasted when you mentioned such a cheap price. Even £50 would be cheap. I was looking at prices to return from Paris to London and was getting a lot more quoted.
Yes, they are terribly variable 😆
Ha- fantastic picture- train on bottom of the sea- I do not think there are those colourful creatures on the bottom of the Channel lol
You mean you haven't seen the great coral reef of the English channel? You've missed out 🪸😂
@@NonstopEurotrip Sorry: they had the lights off - last time I went underneath....
A big part of the high speed line in The Netherlands is also at the bottom of the sea, Amsterdam is 2.0m below sealevel and Rotterdam is about 6.0m below sealevel.
@@RealConstructor Good thing I live in Canada where most everything is above sea level !
Paddington -Heathrow 30 mins Heathrow to boarding 70 mins Heathrow - Amsterdam 80 mins

@@NonstopEurotrip a lot more comfortable, much better business lounge
And a hundred times better boarding experience. They should reduce business premium cost by 50% and provide fast track boarding. I wouldn’t recomnend the scrum there is at present to anybody.
Did you have a good smoke when you got there?
No
If you’re booking a taxi from the Amsterdam Eurostar, where do you tell them to pick you up? There doesn’t seem to be an arrivals area
There's a taxi rank out the back of the station by the river
Hi great video thank you,does the nightjet from Brussels to Vienna have any changes In between? we are going to Salzburg next year for a week and will be taking this route but unfortunately we will have to get train from Vienna to Salzburg as nightjet doesn’t directly go there, is it best to book returns for all the travelling?will that way be cheaper, also trying to work out the timing going and coming back to London, a wee bit of a headache! many thanks for any advice you can give, much appreciated.
Return prices are just two singles, so not cheaper at all. But do book as early as possible for the best prices. Nightjet from Brussels to Vienna is direct. The daytime railjet from Vienna to Salzburg take just 2.5 hours and runs every hour. Westbahn also operate this route.
Thanks for your reply and helpful advice, much appreciated. xx
What happened to first generation Eurostar train sets? Trashed?
They still run, but only to Paris
Thanks for this.
My pleasure!
Surprised by how empty the train was. Any particular reason?
Quiet day? 😆
Do you have to reserve you seat even if you have interrail pass?
Absolutely yes, and well in advance as there are only a limited number of interrail seats
How long is the train in the tunnel for?
All the information is in the video
