Is the Eurostar stopping going to Paris?

Eurostar train company announced they were to stop direct trains between London and Disneyland Paris starting from the summer 2023. Going to Disneyland Paris straight from London will be no longer possible very soon! This is what Eurostar announced this August 30, 2022.



No, Eurostar is not stopping its service to Paris; in fact, the London-to-Paris route remains its busiest and most iconic corridor in 2026. However, there has been significant confusion recently due to the temporary suspension of the direct London to Disneyland Paris (Marne-la-Vallée) service and the closure of several intermediate stations like Ashford International and Ebbsfleet International. These changes were made to manage the increased border-check times required by the new European Entry/Exit System (EES). While you can still easily get to Paris Gare du Nord in about 2 hours and 16 minutes from St. Pancras, you now have to take a local RER train or a high-speed TGV connection to reach the Disney parks. Eurostar has also merged with the French-Belgian high-speed operator Thalys, which has expanded the "Eurostar" brand to include more routes across Germany and the Netherlands, making the overall network larger and more integrated than ever before, even as it streamlines its direct "holiday-specific" UK departures to ensure punctuality on its primary city-to-city routes.
