What is the transfer time for London St Pancras to get on the Eurostar?

Question

I have a First Great Western train that will get to London St Pancras at 5.46am and my Eurostar train leaves at 6.19am, how long does it take to walk from the underground station to the Eurostar train? Will I have time to get there? What is the underground station called that is at the St Pancras station? I am really worried that I won't get to my Eurostar train on time. I found out that check in closes 30 mins before the train leaves after booking the tickets. :(

Answer 1

Hello



This is insufficient time - the check in will have closed, unless you are travelling first class on the Eurostar, in which case you can check in with just 10 minutes to go.



You need to rebook on a later Eurostar.



By the way - First Great Western does not serve London St Pancras; I assume you mean First Capital Connect? If you really are travelling on a First Great Western service to London, that will arrive at London Paddington.



The Underground station is Kings Cross St Pancras by the way.

Answer 2

First Great Western Trains go to Paddington in London NOT St Pancras. Besides Eurostar, St Pancras is served by East Midlands Trains and First Capital Connect Trains, Ideally you should arrive at St Pancras International about 40 minutes before your train departs; I have got away with being there 20 minutes before departure though. The Underground station is Kings Cross St Pancras.

You need to allow at least 25 minutes from getting off a train at Paddington and arriving in the Eurostar terminal at St Pancras

Depending on which sort of Eurostar ticket you have bought, it will probably be cheaper to change the Great Western one, but its hard for me accurate as I don't know where you're starting from or the sort of tickets you have

Answer 3

That is too tight a margin - it will take you about 5mins to walk from the underground to Eurostar but that is assuming that your First Great Western train is exactly on time and they are notoriously bad at time keeping so even a minor delay could mean that the Eurostar desk is closed. Why not travel by an earlier First Great Western train?

Answer 4

Book on a later Eurostar train.
