@@DylansTravelReports used to live in Colchester in my mid 20s. I'd love very much to see that route to Liverpool Street Station and, if possible, the London Paddington to Edinburgh Weverly route which I took a long time ago (April, 1989) with my German girlfriend. Since I live in England no more (39 years), it'd be great to retrace the footsteps of my youth. I'd appreciate it very much. Take care, old chap! Greetings from darkest Peru.
I don't think you can do the Paddington to Waverley route anymore but I reviewed Liverpool Street to Ipswich a few months back which you find here: th-cam.com/video/Loz159gA7B0/w-d-xo.html th-cam.com/video/ejny1Ii9KfQ/w-d-xo.html
I look forward to seeing this report. I traveled from San Francisco to spend Christmas/New Year ... 2018-2019 ... in London and Paris. I loved the experience of the Eurostar! Now, I can re-live the journey, during lock down in my apartment.
I've been waiting for this one! I'll admit to being surprised the underwater part was only 20 minutes - but now that I think about it, that makes perfect sense. For me, the table seats seem like the way to go even if you have to sit with strangers. More leg room and no chance of Dylan reclining his sit in front of you! not a bad price - I'd pay half of that just to avoid an airport (although I like French airports, generally)
Travelled numerous times London to Paris, and return, on Eurostar. If you book in advance you can get cheaper fares. Always had a great journey. And yes, bring your own food.
We have travelled on the Eurostar from London to Paris and back twice and to Brussels and back once. All before the start of the pandemic. All three outbound journeys were fast, without any intermediate stops. However, the second return journey from Paris stopped at Ebbsfleet, and the return journey from Brussels stopped at Lille. We used Standard Premier. Not only does the interior consist of tables with two well-spaced seats on each side of the table, but the price of the ticket includes a hearty meal with waiter service. An unforgettable experience!
Thank you very much for your video, Dylan! I really enjoyed your trip report! A EuroStar! I already really appreciated that you showed us the RER B which makes Cité Universitaire at Roissy CDG 1 and 2 Roissypôle Airport and TGV. What a beautiful station and you show us the architecture well; I'm glad you enjoyed our station! You showed us the trip very well, it is magnificent, the Channel Tunnel, the French and British landscapes, the arrival station in London. We can clearly see the train thanks to your trip report. It is a pleasure to follow you on your adventures! Thank you so much.
@@DylansTravelReports No but just I'm thinking. You are really and definitely the best train enthusiast, the one who does the best trip reports on TH-cam. When I think that some people film and dare to take the train for fun reasons in the middle of a Coronavirus crisis, without taking - or very little - appropriate measures, they are unconscious, who risk spreading to the European public a bad image of the good use of basic health rules. I look forward to receiving your products. Take care of yourself.
That looks like a really nice trip. Ive done London to Paris on ferries and planes but that seems the most comfortable and rapid way to get between the two. Thanks again for an excellent tour.
I agree that it is amazing that you can travel between Paris and London in that time, or indeed between Brussels and London. Keep up the great work! Your videos are marvellous!
Nicely done. Thank you. Your pieces are always relevant, to the point, informative, and unannoying. I traveled that route many times between 1996 and 2006 and I enjoyed every trip. And while I'll spring for Business or First on 16+ hour flights, Standard is always fine for me on Eurostar.
I took this train from Paris to London in the fall of 2017. Gare du Nord was going through renovation at the time, it looks like it is all finished. But I liked St. Pancras station better. It was a fantastic trip. If you lived in either cities, you could go for a day trip or the weekend trip. Or lunch in London and dinner in Paris. What a life!
Great video, went to both London and Paris last year with my family (we are from Mexico) but we only moved around in the Europamundo tour bus so I hope that the next time we can move on the eurostar or other train idk, I really enjoy your videos dude, since I was a child I've always liked trains, keep it up with the great content bro, I've already suscribed and activated the bell, greeting from northern Mexico!
Hi Dylan, hope you're safe while travelling amidst this pandemic! What I like so much about your Reports is that they're so engaging and have just subtitles and very low background sound. I have a habit of skipping 10s but you have a new thing to say within this time so I can't skip, which makes me so fond of your videos. Keep it up Dude!
Wow! Great video....It felt like I was walking with you through the station.I almost wanted to check for MY passport...to make sure I had it at the ready. Unbelievable...2 hours and 19 minutes between Paris and London. I remember taking half a day via an airline and/or the Channel ferry! Remarkable. Shorter than some commute times in the USA!
Have used the Eurotunnel a few times, 1 by Eurostar, a few more by the car service. Always been surprised by how short and efficient the trip is, for the car service you spend longer waiting for the train and loading process than you spend going through the actual journey. Great alternative to flying, especially when the pricing is usually quite competitive.
It's a wonderful trip on the Eurostar. Although SP is quite expensive, it's absolutely worth the update, I really enjoyed my experience there when I went to Paris, I enjoyed travelling on an e300 Refurbished and Unrefurbished. It was one of the most wonderful trips I've ever had
We've traveled both directions on the Chunnel Eurostar. Our first experience was from St Pancras to Gare du Nord. The St Pancras terminal/waiting area is far superior to the Gare du Nord facility. We made that trip in the snow storm ~2009. Naturally, that trip was much slower than normal.
Excellent video. Nice shots of the suburbs, which for me is essential viewing. Two suggestions : more first-class videos, and more reviews of foods from the food-car. Thanks!
Hi again Dylan! Another great look at a sleek and speedy train! Gare du Nord looks big, bright and so modern! The Eurostar seems awesome! Yay! A Cafe Car! Hahaha😂 I hope we can all travel again once it's safe to do so. In the meantime, it's great that you are willing to share your exciting travels with everyone. Thanks for another informative Travel Report Dylan! Looking forward to next Friday!
Thank U - might do exactly the same beginning of July! Will be arriving from Bregenz via Zürich to Paris on a Interrail global pass flexible 5 days over 1 month ! And then carry on by Eurostar to London which is still covered by the global Interrail pass!! Then l want to return from London by Eurostar via Brussels to Frankfurt and Munich n to Bregenz!! Hell of a journey! Your video inspired me to most probably travel Standard class on all TGV, Eurostar’s and ICE’s! Thanks again. God bless!
Very nicely done. Sorry for the following comment, but this popped in my head and I just couldn’t resist it: “I was on a Paris train I emerged in London rain And you were waiting there Swimming through apologies...” Cheers!
Hi Dylan, thanks for another professional production. I am a great fan of the Eurostar through tickets, being able to get from London to Antibes (South of France) in a day. I usually visit in March to watch a bike race (not this year) I love the fact that you can travel from Winter in the North to Spring in the South in a single day, watching all of France pass by your window, usually for about £70 each way. I am keen to try the direct London to Avignon service when things return to normal, its a great town. Cheers, Tim.
Brilliant review Dylan as always, Whist I've been under the channel a few times im still yet to travel on the new stock as my trips so far have on class 373's. I find it convenient you should post this today as I've spent the day looking up the "Night Ferry" which also ran between London and Paris from 1936 & 1980, and apparently it was withdrawn due to complaints that the heating didn't work when carriages were loaded on the ferry and rough sleeping occurring during rough seas. Its a shame the Night Ferry wasn't still in service when the channel tunnel opened, then it could go direct to Paris under the channel and its problems would have eradicated overnight. Also it would have given you another train for your travel reviews.
Thanks! I'd have loved to have done a review on the Night Ferry. I always think it's a shame that no sleeper trains run through the channel tunnel. A missed opportunity imo.
Ah, thank you for the ride down memory lane, Dylan. I was in Premier class. I took afternoon trains both ways. As I recall the food wasn't all that great, but you could sip on all of the wine that you wanted.
Cracking report Dylan, I`m confident more people will use this excellent service instead of flying once things return to the new normal. 22.58 internet download speed, that`s double what I get at home .... flippin heck!
Great presentation Dylan. Subbed 👍🏻. I much prefer to train intercity than fly. But you’d probably find me in Business Premier. 🧐. Keep up the excellent work! Looking forward to viewing more
The railways reminds of many continuous and flowing cheers of light, they are points to fond memories of enduring. They magnify, magnifies, magnified lines close, closer and closest. Bon jeur, arigato gusaimas, li pai world.
Thanks for the great video. Hopefully you’ll get a chance to travel on it again in one of the upper classes. Be curious to see the difference in the various levels of service.
I remember travelling on a steam train throughout Europe as a child in the 1950s. I think our speed was about 100Km or about 60MPH. The service was great and sleeping in a clackety-clack track was soothing. I was told not to use the loo at the station as it was open to the tracks. We started out in Morroco and then on to a ferry and deported in Gibraltar and from there we went to Danmark and again on a ferry to Københaven to visit family. Lots of fun. I was about 7 then.
Eyewatering prices. £50 one way is more expensive than flying. Wow. I booked my own Eurostar adventure for August at $124(USD)roundtrip London to Paris in Standard. I've been looking for Standard vlogs lately. Good report👍
Thank you for this! Going from Paris to London for the first time in a few months (hopefully the pandemic doesn't get worse with Omicron) and your video and comments were super helpful.
This was a fantastic report. As an American, I am always enamored by European high speed trains because we don't have that here. I've been on the Eurostar 5 times in Standard Premier, and have loved each trip. Can't wait until they find a Vaccine or treatment for Covid-19 so we can travel and get to know the world and the people again.
Train is such a great way to travel. Hoping the recent situation will encourage more rail travel and less flying. It would be great to be able to have high speed rail right through to the Med resorts.
Thanks for posting. Looking forward to going on the eurostar. Been on the channel tunnel countless times and on the French TGV but haven't managed eurostar. Maybe one day to Amsterdam
Amazing! Wish we had trains like that in the states. Imagine riding a train like that from LA to NY that would be so awesome. I hear there are studies being made, we can only hope. Thanks Dylan. Take care.
@@jayusa879 California high-speed rail is facing serious difficulties because of idiots. Project is seriously compromised. The US want to stay in the 19th century.
Standard is alright as long as it is not crowded, then it is a real scrum if you have luggage to find a space, especially if your seat is at the other end of the coach since, in theory, everyone for a coach enters by one door.
I did the Eurostar experience a few years ago were I got to hang out at Eurostar for a week and saw how they work as a company. As part of the experience I got the chance to travel to Paris for free I would say the best part is traveling in first class worth every min of it but least was standard class .
The first time I took the eurostar from London to Paris in December 2005, the trip took 3 hours 45 minutes. And pretty soon it will take just 2 hours, once upgrades are completed along the whole line.
Now I know what to look forward to. We'll be doing the same route on 4 July during our trip to Paris. We'll be spending 48hours or so in London. You talked about legroom...how tall are you? I'm 5'6". Anyways, can't wait!! Cheers from Montreal, QC, Canada!
The newer trains are actually allowed to travel at 320 km/h in France :) Going to travel on the Eurostar myself this year, if all goes well. Booking a European holiday :)
I’ve taken the same train from Paris to London and I’m surprised you didn’t ditch your seat and move to one of the empty table seats. You are so right, Eurostar is an excellent and more comfortable alternative to flying.
Thanks for a great trip report. I wonder why airlines don't put the entertainment box that blocks so much when it's on the floor, at the bottom of the seat the way the power ports are situated?
I’ve travelled Eurostar a handful of times and the trip that was most comfortable and decent was when I was in Standard Premier, the reason for this is because I’m 6 ft, 2 1/2 inches, probably a bit more and standard class seats are just not great especially on the E320’s (E300’s are slightly better).
Nice trip report, using new e320 trainset from Paris to London. If pandemic gone, how about trying London - Paris by bus or relay trip using train and then ferry and then train again?
Great video. 300 kph is fast. Do the tracks it travels on go over road crossings to limit potential car accidents? Though not common, I would think it would interfere with the train.
Of course, there are never railway crossings on high-speed lines. It would be too dangerous. There are bridges everwyhere, for the road or the railway to pass above the other.
@@paname514 That makes perfect sense. However, since I have never seen a high speed train, or its track system, I attempted to use my psychic powers to answer this question. It was to no avail. So I asked Dylan instead. Sorry if that upset you.
hi we"re traveling the same train come October .4, may i ask how to choose a seat with window and if i change my seat number will i be charged a fee ?Thanks hoping for your kind reply.
Another great video mate. When things settle down I intend to come over and see Europe once more by train. Is there any way to guarantee a forward facing seat? I prefer to see where I'm going, not where I've been :-)
Thanks! You can choose exactly what seat you get on a seat map and there is a direction of travel indicator to make sure that you are travelling forwards.
Hi ,we are traveling Oct. 4 on the same train, which is the seat with window ? we are booked on coach 7. and if i change seat number , shall i be charged with a fee?
I live in Newcastle at the top end of the country, and I decided to use the Eurostar to Brussels and it was a great experience, the train was on time and very fast and only took 1 hour 40 min

If you think that from Heathrow you need 45 to 60 min to St Pancras Station the Eurostar is a good opportunity.

Train is such a great way to travel. Hoping the recent situation will encourage more rail travel and less flying. It would be great to be able to have high speed rail right through to the Med resorts.
I think more people may switch to rail travel as you have a lot more space on a train than in economy class on a plane.
Flying is on a big decline now, with coronavirus. The train is far nicer, but obviously you can’t take the train everywhere
You can get the Eurostar to Paris and the TGV onto Nice, Marseille or even Barcelona!
Train is nice and all but I dont see it being used that much in America. It seems car or flight will dominate no matter what here.
There are direct Eurostars to Marseille. You can also transfer in Paris to another TGV to Nice, Marseille, Barcelona and everywhere else.
Now then lad another grand job Dylan. Well done.
Thanks 😁
Wow ! £ 50 .Is that more expensive than a flight from Paris to London? I agree with you on waiting times and getting to and from the airport etc.
Great video once again Dylan - I hope to travel the Eurostar in the future
Thanks 😁
You will when it is safe to do once lockdown eases.
Awesome trip report and hope you are staying safe during this time
Thanks! Stay safe!
@@DylansTravelReports no probs
Amazing...Just knowing that trains are faster than air travel and also Paris to London in less than 2.5 hours is unbeliveable.
The new trains may be smoother and quieter than the old ones, but they're nowhere near as comfortable
Outstanding as always Dylan! 🍸
Thanks!
Great video like always.
I would request if you can increase the time period of subtitles. Specially those in which text contains more than 2 lines.
I've only done the Eurostar twice (return journeys in both cases), but I'm glad to say the first time was before 2007
Nice video! It's sad that Eurostar will stop serving Ashford International and Ebbsfleet due to Brexit 😔.
That's very cool! Fast and underwater!
Thanks for posting. Looking forward to going on the eurostar. Been on the channel tunnel countless times and on the French TGV but haven't managed eurostar. Maybe one day to Amsterdam
I'd like to try out the Amsterdam service some day.
Amazing! Wish we had trains like that in the states. Imagine riding a train like that from LA to NY that would be so awesome.
I hear there are studies being made, we can only hope. Thanks Dylan. Take care.
I believe that they're planning on building high speed rail in both Texas and California which would be good to see.
@@DylansTravelReports Amen!
@@jayusa879 California high-speed rail is facing serious difficulties because of idiots. Project is seriously compromised. The US want to stay in the 19th century.
Tbf London and Paris are a lot closer than NY and LA - more like the distance between DC and NY, only with a 25 mile channel between them
Really enjoyed the video! Great job.
Thanks!
Absolutely enjoyed this. Thank you!
Glad you enjoyed 😁
Standard is alright as long as it is not crowded, then it is a real scrum if you have luggage to find a space, especially if your seat is at the other end of the coach since, in theory, everyone for a coach enters by one door.
I did the Eurostar experience a few years ago were I got to hang out at Eurostar for a week and saw how they work as a company. As part of the experience I got the chance to travel to Paris for free I would say the best part is traveling in first class worth every min of it but least was standard class .
Nice!
I saw no tables or seats in cafe car. Can you sit and enjoy an over priced snack in the cafe or must you take food and drink back to your seat?
You have to go back to your seat I'm afraid.
The first time I took the eurostar from London to Paris in December 2005, the trip took 3 hours 45 minutes. And pretty soon it will take just 2 hours, once upgrades are completed along the whole line.
Would have been cool if the tunnel would have been certified for 300 kph
Now I know what to look forward to. We'll be doing the same route on 4 July during our trip to Paris. We'll be spending 48hours or so in London. You talked about legroom...how tall are you? I'm 5'6". Anyways, can't wait!! Cheers from Montreal, QC, Canada!
Great vid as usual thank you!!
Thanks 😁
Great video as always! I really really miss being on a train.
Thanks! Me too...
The newer trains are actually allowed to travel at 320 km/h in France :) Going to travel on the Eurostar myself this year, if all goes well. Booking a European holiday :)
Wow. I get to know more about the Eurostar.
very nice Vlog! Great Video!
Thanks 😁
Another thumbs up - I would rather pay the higher cost than go through the airport mess. City center to city center is the best way to travel.
Thanks! Totally agree!
I’ve taken the same train from Paris to London and I’m surprised you didn’t ditch your seat and move to one of the empty table seats. You are so right, Eurostar is an excellent and more comfortable alternative to flying.
Idk why but I always prefer the airline style seats for some reason.
Hey Dylan! I sent you a 10-pound tip. Keep up the good work. Dutch from Philadelphia PA USA
Thank you so much! I'll be sure to put it to good use once we're all freed again 😁
Thanks for a great trip report. I wonder why airlines don't put the entertainment box that blocks so much when it's on the floor, at the bottom of the seat the way the power ports are situated?
You're welcome. Yes the IFE box on planes in a complete pain.
Love your vids
Thanks!
God damn I miss these episodes when they premiere but I can watch it now! Also, what camera and editor you use?
I use a Gopro Hero7 Black.
BTW Thanks for filming the other train. Cool.
No problem!
THANK YOU SO MUCH...LOVE YOU...
Thanks for the train travel.
I know you’ve said how fast it travels, but can you feel this whilst travelling?
I’ve travelled Eurostar a handful of times and the trip that was most comfortable and decent was when I was in Standard Premier, the reason for this is because I’m 6 ft, 2 1/2 inches, probably a bit more and standard class seats are just not great especially on the E320’s (E300’s are slightly better).
It is a very nice station indeed
Nice trip report, using new e320 trainset from Paris to London. If pandemic gone, how about trying London - Paris by bus or relay trip using train and then ferry and then train again?
Thanks! Would do by ferry and train but bus is more hassle than it's worth imho.
Great video. 300 kph is fast. Do the tracks it travels on go over road crossings to limit potential car accidents? Though not common, I would think it would interfere with the train.
Thanks! I think the tracks mainly go over and under roads to prevent accidents and reduce delays.
Of course, there are never railway crossings on high-speed lines. It would be too dangerous. There are bridges everwyhere, for the road or the railway to pass above the other.
@@paname514 That makes perfect sense. However, since I have never seen a high speed train, or its track system, I attempted to use my psychic powers to answer this question. It was to no avail. So I asked Dylan instead. Sorry if that upset you.
You could also have added the informations about f.e Calaiq and Ashford
hi we"re traveling the same train come October .4, may i ask how to choose a seat with window and if i change my seat number will i be charged a fee ?Thanks hoping for your kind reply.
There is a Trainz route based in Gare du Nord
You should go to Marseille St. Charles with them, amazing trip, outside views are just breathtaking!
I keep meaning to do that trip. Wpuld definately want standard premier for that if it's cheap enough.
Another great video mate. When things settle down I intend to come over and see Europe once more by train. Is there any way to guarantee a forward facing seat? I prefer to see where I'm going, not where I've been :-)
Thanks! You can choose exactly what seat you get on a seat map and there is a direction of travel indicator to make sure that you are travelling forwards.
@@DylansTravelReports Thank you :-)
Hi ,we are traveling Oct. 4 on the same train, which is the seat with window ? we are booked on coach 7. and if i change seat number , shall i be charged with a fee?
Bang on time. A bit more expensive? But LESS time overall. Very good.
Leaving ahead of schedule? How is that even possible? What about all the passangers that arrive right on time?
I live in Newcastle at the top end of the country, and I decided to use the Eurostar to Brussels and it was a great experience, the train was on time and very fast and only took 1 hour 40 min
Forza223 Bowe If you don’t mind me asking, did you get the train down to London and if so, how long did the whole journey take roughly? Thanks!
George Kay Took nearly 3 hours from Newcastle to London kings cross, and an hours wait for the Eurostar and so around 6 hours in total
George Kay There is flights too for Newcastle, but although it took longer, I felt it was a much more pleasurable journey
@@forza223bowe5 Thanks for the info! :)
That looks better than flying.
It sure is 😁
Massively different than April 30, 2003. We went to Paris and back on the same day...
Nice!
