Wanted to go but as Eurostar do not allow pets (even small dogs in pet packs) we decided not to go. Makes you wonder if it is personal on the part of the CEO as with pet passports and easy scanning equipment that has been used at Calais for 11-12 years. Very disappointing and rather a strange attitude on the... More

I find it utterly appaling that we can travel by train from Scotland to London with our dog and then Paris to the South of France on the train with a dog but not on Eurostar. WHY NOT? Can anyone tell me a good reason and is there a campaign to get this changed?. More

I've travelled on the snow train for 3 years running now and have noticed some changes over that time. Firstly the positives. It's definitely the easiest way to get from the uk to the French ski resorts provided the transfer times are short at the other end. It takes about 7hrs 30mins to reach Bourg from London and is relaxed... More

I've flown it, driven it and tried the boat - by far the most relaxing way to start / end your French ski trip is to take the snow train. This was our third time and will be back in years to come. Few tips, take plenty of food / booze for both directions and stay overnight in Ashford the... More

Tried the Eurostar day train for the first time a few weeks ago as an alternative to flying and hiring a car. Did that a couple of years ago going to Les Arcs 1950 and got stuck in the terrible Saturday change over traffic. Wasn't the end of the world on the way there but nearly missed the flight home...

Taking the Eurostar to get to the Alps was a very appealing alternative to flying and driving. I've done both and both have its upsides and downsides. This year we thought we would give the Eurostar service a go, booking outbound in Standard and the return in Standard Prem. The outbound was fairly enjoyable - not great scenery on the... More

The staff are jaded, indifferent, the food in Premium is simply a joke - a bit of cold couscous, a salad leaf and a bottle of bad wine; why bother? Even the plugs don't work. Very quick, very convenient with appalling service and they hate dogs (the fact that people are viewed as necessary annoyances is self-evident from the service)... More

Euro star to alps is great, not one delay in all the years! Easy parking at ashford , walk in with luggage ( scanned befoeenry to lounge) but that is the only bother nothing like flying! Get on train with luggage, bring your own food and drink, no luggage restriction, climb off train in bourg ST Maurice and about half... More
