Brighton Train To Ashford International.

[Jennykenny]

Anyone done it? Anything I should be aware of?

Can't face the horrendous Victoria to St Pancras part of the Eurostar experience one more time. (Am actually going to Luxembourg so need to be on a fairly early train to get to Luxenbourg at a reasonable time.).

Very few eurostars now call at Ashford - only possibility for you is 0725/0728 to Brussels, for which the connection leaves Brighton at 0512 (change Eastbourne) - the 0755 only runs Friday until 30th oct.

Hadn't actually thought it through.
Although have been on the Eurostar many many times, hadn't really paid attention to whether it was stopping in Ashford or not. Was usually deep into my crossword and coffee as we raced through.
On the basis of you pointing that out, I award you best (and only) answer.
Back to the Victoria scrum.

I'm not sure what Thameslink is??

"thameslink" is the brand name of the GTR service from Brighton to Bedford. Every 30mn, journey Brighton to st Pancras 85 mn.

Many thanks.
