Ebbsfleet to Brussels trains
Due to the impact of coronavirus and the subsequent pressure put on our business, we’ve made a decision to focus on our busiest city centre stations. As a result, our trains will no longer be stopping at Ebbsfleet International until 2022 at the earliest.
Ebbsfleet International
Travelling from London St Pancras International instead
As our trains are no longer stopping at Ebbsfleet International, you’ll need to buy a ticket to travel to or from St Pancras International instead.
Getting to or from London St Pancras International by train
You can take a direct Southeastern train between Ebbsfleet International and St Pancras International. You can check the Southeastern timetable and fares here.
When to arrive at London St Pancras International?
We recommend arriving at St Pancras International 60 minutes before your Eurostar train departs to allow plenty of time for ticket, security and passport checks. Ticket gates close 30 minutes before departure.
We’re receiving thousands of calls and emails right now, and it’s taking longer than usual for us to reply to everybody. We’d strongly encourage you not to call our contact centre, but to check eurostar.com for all the latest info instead. For any other requests or questions, you can use this contact us form. Apologies for the inconvenience caused.

Arriving at Brussels-Midi/Zuid
Eurostar trains arrive into the centre of town at Brussels-Midi/Zuid (Brussels South) station.
On arrival you’ve plenty of choice of public transport with STIB trams and metros, and the De Lijn or Tec bus networks.

From 8 November, the temporary ticket office will be located between platforms 12 and 13. Please allow extra time to find it, or ask a member of staff to direct you. Or why not simply download the Eurostar app and use it to buy, exchange and store your tickets?
Multi-cultural Brussels
A true mélange of cultures, Brussels is where francophone Wallonia and Dutch-speaking Flanders meet, so prepare to order a Belgian waffle in French next to a Dutch-style guildhall.
Move over, moules-frites
When in Brussels you must try carbonade flamande, a deliciously rich beef stew. Then, tick off two favourites in one and order a glass of chocolate beer. Trust us – it’s exquisite.
A city for all seasons
Brussels boasts everything from music and flowers to art and craft, food and (naturally) beer.
Don’t miss the Manneken
No trip to Brussels is complete without a visit to the Manneken Pis, who from time to time has his modesty restored with anything from judo kit to a full Father Christmas outfit.
