Hi, travelling from London to Bruge. Then onto France. How does it work if wanting to stop off at a few stations on the travel day. Do you just find local links? many thanks

Some high-speed trains require seat reservations, mainly in France, Spain, Italy + cross-border routes such as Eurostar and Thalys. You need to choose which one you'd like to take in advance. Eurostar and Thalys have a limited quota so you need to book well in advance (can sell out weeks prior). Check availability here : https://www.b-europe.com/EN/Booking/Pass#TravelWish
Eurostar to Lille or Brussels (30€)
Then there are dozens of reservation-free trains from Lille or Brussels to Bruges, simply board the one you'd like (and add it to the app before boarding). Same practice in most of Europe :)
- Thalys Brussels - Paris 27€ (can sell out well in advance)
- TGVs in France : limited 10€, then 20€ until the train is full. Check here : https://travel.b-europe.com/Eurail-GE/en/booking-tgv#TravelWish
Alternative : reservation-free regional trains
