Eurostar Jan prices.

When are they released?. Thought they would have been by now.

I was just pricing up February’s so I would of assumed January would be out.

I guess you are talking about direct trains to DLP? You can however (probably cheaper) book a train to Lille and then go to DLP from Lille on SNCF/TGV. We've done that previously and is cheap and easy.
Although I really do much prefer the direct service!

[aj2703]

Yeah am looking at direct prices. Have been via Lille and while ok I prefer to go direct or even end of the line to Gare du Nord :-)

[Bondy007]

Agree 100%, direct is far better...
I can't see why they haven't released Jan schedule when everything around it is available... seems odd but i'm sure there is a logical reason. Don't know if you'd have any luck if you called them?

Well I am thinking its six months so will release from the 1st of July (Hopefully). I have already booked flights but I get the feeling one of the kids isn't too keen so I might cancel and book the train :-)

Of course it all depends on the price

[Bondy007]

Aye, I paid way more than I wanted to last year (Feb half term) but it was the DD first Disney experience so wanted it to be the best it could be - ended up paying around Ł550 for the 3 of us, could have halved that by changing at Lille but didn't want to budge off going direct.
Keep checking daily, think they have a habit of just popping up when you least expect it!

I have rung euro star regarding this there will be no direct trains after the 3rd Jan which is already bookable. There will be an indirect service but he said that will not be released untill at least 6 months out. We have a booking for 2-5th Jan although without the direct service I'm thinking of re booking for may half term when when the hotel dates are released next week. Have looked into flying but the Eurostar is half the fun for my eldest with ASD.

I know I'm tempted to fly but I thinking now I'll push the booking forward and maybe have a festive break at Alton towers instead- not the same but something to look forward to after working all over Xmas.
