thanks Anna - I think the initial attraction for us was the hope that we could book seats on the Eurostar anytime we wanted to as long as there was availability on the train without having to plan far out in advance for the cheap seats. With a family the ability to have the flexibility on travel at short notice without too much planning would have been a real benefit for us - being able to take a weekend break (like we used to pre-children) relatively spontaneously without breaking the bank would have been fun!
thanks Martin - yes that was what I was hoping the 50yr promo would be - a great way to have such a flexible pass for 3 months!Sadly - not the case and will have to revert to more traditional holiday periods.Thanks again for your help.cheers, Chris
Thanks so much for the answers Martin - much appreciated!On point 1 - which is probably the most important point for me to understand - I was of the understanding that you can only have one outbound and inbound travel from your country of residence on any given travel days - however I thought that with a continuous pass you would be able to use any days within the 3 months as your travel days so that you could go in and out of UK (in our case) as many times as you like during the 3 months. One of the things we wanted to do with this pass if it were possible would be to go on the Eurostar on multiple weekends to different cities and explore Europe that way - seems like this isn’t actually possible?So if I understand correctly - we would only be able to travel out with the pass on Eurostar Lon-Paris for example - use the pass for 3 months in Europe and only come back once into the UK?(which effectively means it’s only useful if the whole family took 3 months off travelling during holiday
