Trains and Rail Services

Although train tickets can be bought at a discount over the Internet (in advance), many British users still find the system unwieldy. Eurostar terminal at St. Pancras is where to catch trains to continental Europe (via the chunnel).

Generally, all mainline stations in London have a large ticketing area, where you buy your tickets before starting your journey. There will be a queue of some kind, so leave more than a minute or two.

There are two classes – First and well… ‘Not First’ – it might be called standard, economy, premium, saver, or any number of titles. State you destination and whether you want a single or return. Returns mean they will need to know when you’re coming back, as they have a limited use period.


London Rail: Overgound rail services operate throughout the city.
The departures are listed on the electronic boards outside. The platform is only given in the last ten minutes or so.

Please see the section on this website – ‘Nearby – By Station’, which lists the main stations and the best locations to visit from there.
