If you have never travelled through Europe by train, the first journey can feel like a leap. Most people find it far simpler than they expected.

Leaving London

Most of our holidays start at St Pancras. Arrive a little early, pass through security and passport control, then settle into your seat for the trip to Paris or Brussels.

Changing trains

Connections are planned with time to spare. Your travel documents show each train, platform details where known, and the hotel you are heading to that night.

Luggage

There is no weight limit on most European trains, but you will lift your own bags onto the luggage racks. A medium suitcase with wheels is usually the most comfortable choice.
