UK's Sky High Train Fares are Double From Europe

Fares for all high speed trains in UK have raised their fares. The fairs are just double for the distance paid in Europe.

Fares in the UK, particularly London and the South-east, are already the highest in the EU.

By next January they could be up to 10 per cent higher.

The Sunday Express compared London rush-hour fares with equivalents in Europe. We found commuters here are already being unfairly hammered even without the planned hikes. A day return from Reading, Berkshire, around 40 miles from the capital, costs £34.40.

Commuters from Beauvais and Chartres in France, which are both around 40 miles from Paris, pay the equivalent of £12 and £13.50. In Italy rail travel is even cheaper, with commuters in Latina, 40 miles from Rome, ­paying £7.50. Back in Britain ­workers commuting from Luton, Bedfordshire, just 35 miles away, are charged £22.40.

That is only 40p more than the fare from Chelmsford, Essex, a similar distance from London.From ­Canterbury West, a 100-mile commute is £23.50. Commuters from Eberswalde, 30 miles from Berlin, are charged around £15, while an 80-mile round trip from Toledo to Madrid costs the equivalent of just £9.50.

Families in Britain face a significant rise in living costs because inflation has gone over three per cent this year, overtaking the Government’s target of two per cent. The retail prices index, the measure against which many rail fares are set, was 4.8 per cent last month.

To book all trains from London to Paris and check fares you can visit Eurostar official website.

London Lille Train

I have always loved Lille, one of the main visiting places in France.  from UK, you take London Paris Train from St Pancras International Train Station and then after the channel tunnel crossing, the main Eurostar station is Lille Flandres Train Station.

Most of the people have opinion that Lille sounds like a boring, industrial, coal-mining town. But they are no true. Lille has got a very nice historic centre, with old houses and mansions that look like those of Brussels and Amsterdam. Lille is becoming an important regional hub again, with fast trains connecting it to Brussels, Paris and London. This city is a home to many wonderful museums and galleries. Lille is the pride of the most beautiful architecture in France; the famous Place du Général de Gaulle built in the 17th century must go for a visit, as is the stunning Lille Opera House. The city is a mixture of French and Flemish heritage can be seen in architecture.
There is no real bad time to visit Lille, although the peak tourist season tends to be spring (March to June) and autumn (September to December).
