 Poster: A snowHead

Does anyone know when Eurostar will be starting to accept bookings for the direct London St Pancras to BSM service this winter? Has anyone received an email from Eurostar asking for pre registration details? I am sure that it was this time last year that they were starting to sell seats for the winter and I don't want to miss getting the tickets for the train I would like to get.

Gainz, I paid 120GBP last season with the SCGB discount. You have to ring them and speak to a real person though, no online booking if you want the discount.
codger, I believe the tickets go on sale on 7 July.
achilles, I found it perfectly comfortable and even managed to get some sleep. I can imagine it would be a different story if it hadn't been more than half empty though.

The letter I've got from Rail Europe (announcing the demise of the overnight couchette snowtrain) says tickets go on sale from 7th July, prices from £149 return.

why would anyone do this when flying is so much cheaper and faster ???

boardiac, because its not. I live in London - If I left my house at 10am got the train to Gatwick arriving at 10:45, checked in luggage 2hours before - flew at 1:45. Waiting for luggage/ hire car etc at other end =1hr, 2/ 3 transfer to resort = 7.5 hours.
OR train from St Pancras, have a nice dinner, settle down, wake up at 6:30 in France having not had to stay awake/ move luggage etc

You know it makes sense.
|
But isn't the train journey 7.5 hours before you add on getting to train station,
check in and transfers? Fair enough if you've easy access to St. Pancras and are heading to Les Arcs but anywhere else and it's a lot longer and generally more expensive than an easyJet (40 min check-in, up to 60 Geneva flights a day) hop to GVA (ok peak times fares, chances of delays, luggage allowances and carbon footprint arguments accepted...).
