Eurostar to scrap major ticket type in blow for UK travellers
Share:
Eurostar is scrapping a major ticket type, which will impact thousands of UK passengers. From March 31, Eurostar tickets to 'Any Belgian Station' will cease as the operator has been requested to discontinue the product. The request came from the SNCB and will apply to all rail providers. The 'Any Belgian Station' ticket type allows Eurostar passengers to travel from London to Brussels and continue their journey by train to any Belgian destination for an additional fee.
A Eurostar spokesperson said: "The 'Any Belgian Station' product will be discontinued at the request of SNCB, with the change taking effect from 31 March 2025. The final travel date for this product will be 14 June 2025. "Going forward, the 'Any Belgian Station' ticket will be replaced by a point-to-point product. This new solution will allow passengers to seamlessly book both their Eurostar and SNCB trains in a single transaction, directly selecting their origin or destination in Belgium via Eurostar’s website. Passengers will then receive their SNCB ticket to connect in Brussels, Liège or Antwerp.
"This update aims to offer clearer and more transparent travel options for our customers, while extending the scope as the product will also cover continental routes. Work is ongoing with SNCB on the development of this new solution, with a launch date still to be confirmed.".
