Eurostar, the high speed rail service that links the UK with the rest of Europe has now started taking booking for its latest extension which links Britain with the ski resorts in the Alps. These new route provide rapid rail transfers between St Pancras and Ashford International station and a variety of the top resorts in the French Alps. The services start on December 27 for day runs and December 23 for night trains, and they both run until April 14 2012.
The popular French towns of Bourg St Maurice, Moûtiers and Aime-La-Plagne will all now have Eurostar stopping there, and as the stations are much closer to the resorts than the airports, passengers will have a much shorter time on their connecting coaches. All the premier French ski resorts such as Courchevel, Tignes, Meribel, Les Arcs and La Plagne are all within easy reach of the stations.
Eurostar are also allowing snowboarders and skiers to take on board an extra piece of luggage to accommodate any equipment they are taking. The return fares for the French ski services will start at £149, and there will also be the option of upgrading to Eurostar’s standard premier class for £229 return, which includes extra space to move around and also food and drink.

Are the new Euro ski trains travelling from all stations i.e. Ebbsfleet as they have much cheaper parking options than London.
Thanks
