On Eurostar there's no weight limit for your luggage, but you must be able to carry and lift your bags safely on your own, as there is no porter service at the station and our teams are unfortunately unable to help with luggage. Each bag can be up to 85cm long at its widest point and should be clearly labelled.
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.

In short, the 3-1-1 rule is: Each liquid you bring through the TSA checkpoint must be in a 3.4-ounce or smaller container (3), all containers must be placed inside one clear quart-size plastic bag (1) and each passenger is only allowed one plastic bag (1).
How long does the Eurostar check-in take? 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.
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.
Please remind your customers that face masks must still be worn in our stations and on board our trains for the safety of our passengers and colleagues.
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.
But, whichever station you're catching the Eurostar from, you'll need to make sure you've printed your tickets at least 45 minutes beforehand - this gives you time to check in and board the train. You'll also need your ID to check in.
Boarding guaranteeIf you'd like to switch for an earlier or later train on the day you're travelling, we guarantee to find you a seat, even if Business Premier is full. Unfortunately, we're unable to offer this guarantee for trains to and from the Netherlands.
If possible, try to secure the bag with a lock or cable tie so that it cannot easily be taken away from you. Additionally, if there is space available for storage above or below the seat, use it!
As you may know, this train travels underwater for a short time. The underwater train from London to Paris goes through the Channel Tunnel, which runs under the English Channel for approximately 13 minutes.
It is made up of three tunnels, each 50km long, that link Folkestone in Kent to Calais in France. Two are rail tunnels, used for freight and passenger trains, and the third is a service tunnel. Eurostar is one of LeShuttle's biggest customers and their trains take only 20 minutes to pass through the Channel Tunnel.
In fact, the Channel Tunnel (or Chunnel, as it's sometimes known), is just over 31 miles in length and is the longest continuous underwater tunnel in the world. Traveling at a maximum speed of 100 mph in the Chunnel, it takes a Eurostar train around 35 minutes to travel this underwater stretch between London and Paris.
