£10 supplement on eurostar from manchester

[hughesfowler]

One of my colleagues thinks she has heard somewhere that if you get a eurostar ticket there is a supplement available for just £10 to manchester. Anyone heard of this has she been mislead ?

Many thanks in advance

I don't know the exact terms for this but I do know that if you buy a Manchester-Europe ticket off the Eurostar website you'd pay something like £50 single then on your Manchester-London ticket it would say fare:£10 and on the Eurostar ticket it would say fare:£40.

Normally you can excess a ticket if you want to travel further than usual but I don't know if this applies with Eurostar and I'd be very doubtful of it applying if you stated that you'll collect your ticket at St Pancras.

£50 single from Manchester to Europe? Are you sure?

Well the cheapest possible Advance single ticket from Manchester to London Intl(CIV) is £11, perhaps that is what she has heard about. However it would be very unlikely for that to be available.

I'm going in July and looked as soon as tickets became available and am going to have to have the ordinary £33.20 fare in each direction.

Thanks all for quick response as usual advised my friend accordingly

Yes that'll be an Advance ticket from London International for £11. The fact it's issued from London International means that you are guaranteed to be permitted to get a later train if your Eurostar is delayed.

Virgin are quoting through fares on their website as being "from" £91 Return for Manchester to Brussels, with the search form on their website punting you off to Eurostar's site.

Having said that, the cheapest I can find at the moment for a couple of random dates in June is £101 (2 x £34.50 Singles on Euro*, 2 x £16.00 Singles on Virgin).

Cheers,

Barry

I got a single Munich-London (via Brussels Eurostar) for €49 yesterday, travel in July. The onward journey to Leeds will cost another £10

That was around what I paid a couple of years ago but I fitted in the 'Youth 16-25' catergory opposed to the 'Adult 26+' at the time.

I was more interested in the ability to go London to Paris for £50 even ignoring the Manchester part. Am I missing something? Singles London to Paris seem to start at £89 for a journey in 3 weeks time...

The cheapest Advances are booked further in advance like with dosemtic services. For the 29th June Youth fares are £38, £57 and £72 for non-flexible London-Paris and £39, £73 and £89 for Adult fares.

"Eurostar tickets start from...£59 return to Brussels and Paris"

I haven't seen £59 returns on eurostar for ages

No - that page of theirs is out of date. The cheapest return to Paris or Brussels has been £69 since December last year. On the other hand, true single fares are now available at a reasonable price, starting at £39. And DB have their through tickets from London to anywhere in Germany via Brussels from £55 single.
