Would be up for that (did a similar thing last season to Skiwelt Amade - courtesy of Ryan Air's first and last flights and Austriasuperski which was great fun but also quite tiring mostly courtesy of having had to get to Stansted Airport for 06:45 take off)

Seems a ridiculous amount of money for one day! A full week's holiday including flights, transfer, accommodation and food can be had for three times that much!

holidayloverxx, PM sent.
Yep, I noticed the same thing with 15 Jan only available if one person put in.
But yeah, if it is available I would be happy for you to make the booking and I would then transfer you the money.

Aaaargh - it's stil showing as available for 1 seat but not available when you ring Last Minute. I've got to call the guy who deals with Eurostar at noon.

You know it makes sense.

Eeyore, schneeflocke, There was only 1 seat left  so I booked it for me. The guy is going to let me know if any more seats become available at the price they are working on it. Apparently it went on sale 2 weeks ago at £99 and those seats sold out pronto so I've asked him to put me on his personal distribution list for offers in future.

Sounds like a blast, I would be up for it if any more cheap seats become available

Why not just do it on the ordinary train, changing in Paris? Leave London 5:30pm, and arrive at 7:30am next morning. Return at 9pm and get to London at 9am next morning. You do can do it for £125 inc in a sleeper (much better than Eurostar), or a mere £100 if you're prepared to sit in a seat all night. www.raileurope.co.uk shows you the prices. No point in waiting for those one-in-a-lifetime cheap direct Eurostar fares.

philgeorge999, because I work in Trafalgar Square, number 91 bus to St Pancras, get on train, get off at Bourg - no faffing changing in Paris and no having to leave work early to catch the outward train. (I have no desire to use a sleeper). Also the 22:15 departure home allows enough time for a nice relaxed meal in the evening.
Good deal for those that fancy it though.
