The through fares from London to Amsterdam are generally good value when compared with flight costs including all the additional charges of baggage, check-in, transport to the airport etc.
By “through-fare” we mean the price given if you search from London to Amsterdam and the reservation system includes the connection in Brussels. Rail Europe offer these fares – see our Eurostar Page heading above.
But we’ve just saved £116 by booking the cheapest fare London – Brussels – London with Rail Europe, costing £69 for the dates we required.
Then we booked this special offer which is valid for travel 15th July through to 19th August:
19 euro each way for travel from Brussels to any Dutch station. That’s approximately £31 return
