On your bike with Eurostar

From the Eurostar website:

From 7 April you will be able to reserve a place for your bike *on the same train that you are travelling on*. (This is subject to space being available). This service operates on our London, Paris and Brussels routes only and will give you added assurance of knowing that your bike is travelling with you.

You can make a reservation or find out more about this service by calling us on 08705 850 850 or visit the EuroDespatch Centre in person at St Pancras International. Charges are £20 one way and it’s necessary to quote your Eurostar reference or show your ticket.

This puts Eurostar on parity with low cost airlines such as Ryanair on cycle carriage, but with the benefit of offering you a carbon neutral journey.

This change in policy has come about as the result of sustained lobbying by cycle campaigners such as the CTC and Camden Cycle Campaign. (If Eurostar had realised that by moving to St Pancras they came under the purview of Camden CC they might have decided to stay put! )
