  • The Eurostar offices in Brussels, Paris and London are completely separate so they make their own rules. One factor is the amount of space they have, but really it is because the Eurostar luggage people in Paris are cunts. That was pretty much what Eurostar in London told me when they (Paris) wouldn't let me take my bike on, in a CTC-style plastic bag, despite that being specifically allowed in the rules at that time. Eurostar in London apologised, gave me a complimentary ticket, but said that there was nothing they could do.

    For info, these are the three trains a day that you can take a bike to Brussels on, for £55 (less if you book futher ahead):
    Trains departing at 09:01 (train 9116), 13:01 (train 9132) and 15:04 (train 9142)

  • This is super handy. Tho I bet if you try and travel at peak season these 3 trains are going to be like gold dust.

  • Yes, I expect they don't have massive capacity.
    Then if you try to dovetail it up with bike reservations on ongoing trains to get somewhere beyond Europe it becomes next to impossible, or such an admin task that you just give up. Hence the appeal of going down the rinko route.
