Hello, I was wondering why it says that you would need public transport, when it appears (and google tells me) that the arrival and departure stations listed here are the same?

Indeed a bug on Rail Planner. It's a 5-7 min walk from the Eurostar platforms to Thameslink.

Hey ​@thibcabe and ​@Jordyn 

This is definitely a bug. I will escalate this internally.

Eurostar and British national train companies use only the name "London St Pancras International".
Eurail/Interrail, but also German Rail (bahn.de), among others, distinguish between "London St Pancras International” for Eurostar trains and “London St Pancras” for the three other parts of the station (Thameslink down under, East Midland and South Eastern above).
It would be great if Eurail manages to change this bug, but if they use the same time table source as DB, somewhere else something should change also.

By the way, London Kings Cross is next door to St Pancras Int. It's on walking distance. Both share one underground station. Going from one to the other you have to do on foot, but Eurail says "Transfer by public transport".

London Euston is a different case. From St Pancras I reach it in 10 minutes on foot. To take a bus or a tube might be a minute or two faster, if you're lucky.
