More prohibited itemsUnlicensed firearms, including replicas and de-activated firearms. Imitation or toy guns that have the appearance of a genuine weapon. Ammunition of any calibre and in any quantity.
Unlike airlines, we don't limit the volume of liquids you can carry, so you can take all your toiletries with you, and even squeeze in a bottle of bubbly for the trip if you like. And if you've picked up a coffee at the station, just pop it in the special tray and we'll hand it back on the other side of security.
With Eurostar, border and luggage checks take place before departure, so we ask our passengers to arrive at the station early enough to complete them. These timings are just for guidance and can sometimes change.
There's no weight limit on your luggage, meaning you can bring every little essential with you. All we ask is that you're able to transport your bags safely on and off the train and that they're stored out of harm's way in our dedicated areas. And don't forget to label your luggage clearly, too.
Can I take my prescription medication or medical equipment on Eurostar? Yes, you can take your medication with you, but if you have equipment like an oxygen cylinder, insulin syringes or a large amount of medication, please bring a letter from your doctor to show at security.
Luggage on the EurostarPassengers with an adult ticket can take a maximum of two bags (up to 85cm long) including rucksacks, suitcases or ski equipment and one small item of hand luggage.
Luggage racks above your seat. Free space on the floor between certain seats arranged back to back. Special luggage racks at the end of each coach for bigger items.
The check-in procedure for Eurostar train journeys takes roughly 20 minutes from start to finish, and depending on the class you're travelling in, it's recommended that you arrive at least 90 minutes before your Eurostar train leaves.
But basically you can carry anything except offensive weapons/firearms/explosives. No restrictions on liquids or tweezers and scissors. You have to put your bags through an x-ray machine and walk through a metal detector after you check in.
Getting on the train is a bit like an airport. There's security checks and metal detectors as well as U.K. and French border control. I would recommend arriving at least an hour in advance, so you can do all that. Also make sure you don't wear any metal jewellery, belts or zippers before going on (more tips here).
Labelling your bags is mandatory on all Eurostar and French trains, so you should affix a label that includes the passenger's full name. Paper labels can normally be found at large stations (e.g. Eurostar terminals) but we recommend purchasing something more sturdy that will last more than one trip.
