taking you all the way Your tickets will only have the London-Brussels departure and arrival times on them. Don’t worry – that’s because you have the freedom to jump on any Deutsche Bahn train departing from Brussels on the day of your Eurostar journey. Your tickets are valid all the way to your German destination, and back again if you’re returning.

You’ll find timetables for connecting trains on your Print at Home tickets.

seat reservations You’ll have a seat reserved on your Eurostar train, but you won’t need a seat reservation on your Deutsche Bahn journey. As soon as your German train arrives, hop on and find a seat. If the digital display above the seat is blank, it’s free. Seats marked ggf.reserviert may be free, but can be booked at the last minute, so you could be asked to change seats if someone has reserved it.
