Virgin Trains Offers Faster, Cheaper Journeys to Paris and Brussels via Eurostar |
|
Virgin Trains has teamed up with Eurostar to offer dramatic improvements in journey times to Paris and Brussels and extend the range of bargain thorough fares.
Eurostar has today introduced its new timetable, following completion of Eurotunnel's repairs to the Channel Tunnel after the incident last September. Combined with the full introduction of the Virgin Trains timetable last week, journey times to the Continent have been slashed, some by around two hours.
