Be quick for bargain European rail fares

No dithering. No procrastinating. You'll need to move quickly to pick up some of the best rail deals seen in Europe for some time.

Eurostar and Thalys have teamed up for a joint promotion offering Europe-wide rail tickets at low fares.

The deal offers £29/€29 one-way fares for travel across the combined networks - but only until tomorrow morning Australian time.

Fares are valid for travel between November 28, 2022, and February 2, 2023, Travel Mole reports.

Direct Eurostar journeys between London St. Pancras and Paris, Amsterdam, Rotterdam, Brussels and Lille are available from £29 one way, with onward connections via Thalys in Brussels to destinations such as Cologne from an additional €29 one way. That's about $51 per trip. 

The promotion is the first joint commercial action since the merger between Eurostar and Thalys last May.

Francois Le Doze, Chief Commercial Officer, Eurostar said: “We are pleased to launch our first joint promotion, to enable our customers to experience the best of both services at low fares. Passengers can enjoy exploring destinations further into Europe, with a simple connection in Brussels.”
