Trying to buy through tickets from Leeds to Brussels

[Deerfold]

About a week ago, I had a quick look at www.eurostar.com and looked up tickets from Leeds to Brussels. I'm now looking to book and the website no longer recognises "Leeds" as a valid entry.

Anyone any idea why that's happening or suggestions as to where is best to book from Leeds or Keighley? I've not booked from Yorkshire before. I'm keen to have a through ticket to ensure I'm going for valid connections and in case of delays on the way back.

Have you gone beyond the booking horizon for National Rail which is less than for Eurostar?

No, I don't get as far as giving a date. I will be looking at weekdays in February.

Have a look at seat61.com - he explains that there's a glitch currently preventing non-London stations in the UK from appearing. Look for the "workaround" on this page:

You could try https://loco2.com ?

Ah, didn't see that when I looked.

I've tried that website, but it finds loads of alternate routes (most not very well priced, many by coach) and there seems to be no way to filter by price, class or number of changes.

I've used loco2 for trips to Italy without a problem but, having just tried Leeds->Brussels departing now, I can see what you mean . It's absurd that there's no (obvious) way filter out the buses nor to sort by price.

My earlier reply was based on looking for departures on Weds Feb 13 from 9am (as midweek is when I'd expect reasonable-ish Eurostar fares to be available) - they looked similar to what I'd expect from Eurostar (but I'd imagine it would be possible to beat those prices if you split.)

If you can get the work-around to work for the Eurostar site from Leeds to work, it would be interesting to know how loco2's prices compare.
