Train travel guide
Eurostar London to Paris for non-EU visitors
Nigerian passport holders need a UK visa to start in London and a Schengen visa for Paris. Border checks for both happen at St Pancras before you board, so arrive early.
Travel to Paris with Eurostar: what to know
Trains run from London St Pancras International to Paris Gare du Nord in the heart of the city. Luggage allowances are generous compared with flying.
Eurostar London to Amsterdam for non-EU visitors
Direct trains reach Amsterdam Centraal via Brussels and Rotterdam. The same Schengen visa covers the Netherlands and Belgium.
Seat reservations on European high-speed trains
Most high-speed services in France, Spain and Italy need a reserved seat. Book early for the best fares on popular routes.
One Schengen visa, many countries by rail
A Schengen visa lets you cross between member countries by train without new border checks. Apply to the country where you spend the most nights.
UK railcards and off-peak fares
Railcards save a third on most UK fares, and off-peak tickets cost less than peak ones on the same route.
Booking high-speed rail in China
Tickets are issued against your passport, which you show at the gate. Popular routes sell out around public holidays.
Riding the Shinkansen in Japan
Reserved and unreserved cars run on most lines. A Japan Rail Pass can pay for itself on a Tokyo–Kyoto–Osaka trip.
KTX trains in South Korea
Seoul to Busan takes under three hours on the KTX. Foreign visitors can buy a Korail Pass for unlimited travel.
