August 7th - Train fares to Paris are out of control

from Simon Calder's Independent Travel Podcast

I'm at London St Pancras International, hub for Eurostar trains to Paris and Brussels. The lowest return fare from London to Paris, looking a day ahead for a 48-hour stay, is £338. Airlines are charging at least £100 less. What we need on this most essential intercity link is proper competition between rail firms.This podcast is free, like the Independent Travel newsletter.
