Eurostar: "Any Dutch Station"?

Question

I received an email from the staff at Eurostar with the instructions that if I wished to take a train from London to Amsterdam and stop in between at both Bruges and Brussels, I would need ot choose a "classic service" to "any Dutch Station." However, when I went to the website, the only option I can find is "any Belgian station." Is this the same thing? I'm not trying to be dumb; I just want to make sure.

Answer 1

eurostar doesnt enter thenetherlands as far as i know it goes to brussles. you can transfer in brussles, to a direct train to amsterdam (thalys i.e.) or you can take a regular international train. itll go via antwerp, rotterdam the hague to amsterdam.

Answer 2

Which website are you using?

I suggest buying a Eurostar ticket to Brussels and then getting a normal train ticket in Brussels at the train station to get to Bruges and on to Amsterdam.

See here: http://www.b-rail.be/main/E/

It should also be possible to buy a ticket from London to Bruges for you by ticking "any belgian station"- you'll have to change in Brussels for Bruges anyway if you arrive by Eurostar. Just make sure that the part from Brussels to Bruges is flexible, ie you are not forced to take a specific train on the day you arrive from London. From Bruges you shoud then buy a ticket to Amsterdam at Bruges train station

Answer 3

The Eurostar (High Speed Train) runs from London through Paris to Brussels, it does not go to Holland... This is what they mean when they say you have to take a non-High Speed Train from Brussels (or Brugge) to Amsterdam, Holland... But this is not entirely true as there's also the Thalys which is a similar High Speed Train that runs from Paris through Brussels to Amsterdam... So you could take the Eurostar from London to Paris or Brussels and then the Thalys from Paris or Brussels to Amsterdam...

Obviously, any Belgian station is not a Dutch Station, but you can take trains to Holland (not always direct) from any Belgian Station...

Answer 4

Its simple. From London to Brussels you travel on Eurostar and the choice of traveling to Amsterdam depends on you.

Either you can choose the Nederlandse Spoorwegen Sneltrein (express train) to reach Amsterdam Centraal or a Sneltrein of B-Rail of Belgium to Amsterdam Centraal.

But you need to watch out for the hidden cost supplements that Eurostar charges for services on other railways networks.

Answer 5

The Eurostar go's from London to Ashford to Lille to Brussels!
Don't take the one who go's to Paris or Marle vallee to reach Belgium from London, that would be wrong!
Dial in with you keyboard on "Google" the word nmbs (that's the site for the Belgian trains).To combine Brugge and Brussels in one day is difficult to reach in time, you will need more time for that.
Have a nice trip!

Answer 6

You would need to search a bit further, and keep on till you find 'any Dutch station' in the options, it is likely cheaper than buying in to any Belgium station and buying a ticket for Amsterdam there.
You will pay more than 40 Euro if you buy your ticket to Amsterdam on the Dutch side of the border.
