Families planning to go to Disneyland Paris in the UK this summer will have to change their route as Eurostar is set to stop direct trains from London to the holiday destination.
According to Eurostar, from June 7, the company will no longer offer direct trains from London to Disneyland in Marne-la-Vallée, making it more difficult for Britons to organize their trip.
Eurostar's decision to no longer offer such a service was made in August last year. At the time, Eurostar cited the fallout from Brexit and COVID as the main reasons behind the decision, saying the company needed to focus on its core routes and continue to provide a high level of service.
According to the decision made by Eurostar, from June 2023 until the end of this year there will be no direct trains. As for 2024, the company has not shared any information yet.
Even though those wishing to reach Disneyland Paris from London will not be able to do so by direct train, they can still take a connecting train to Lille or Paris. However, everyone should keep in mind that it will take longer than before.
Now that Eurostar is set to end its direct trains to Disneyland Paris, the company said it will focus its efforts on the cities it serves in the Netherlands and Belgium.
According to Eurostar, there are currently up to 18 daily services between London, Amsterdam and Paris. In addition, it was noted that the number of passengers connecting in Brussels for trips between the Netherlands and the UK also increased by 106% compared to 2018.
