  • Yes, there is a Eurostar to Germany. But not as you might think it is. Eurostar and Thalys merged in 2023. Sadly there is still no direct train between the UK and Germany.
    But still, this new red Eurostar Ruby is amazing. Come along with us on our trip from Paris to Germany in Eurostar premium class

    👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 Whos is Reens Rails? 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦
    Hi, my name is René, aka. Reen. I am 36 years old and a father of two lovely kids. We are liliving in germany and love to go on rail adventures. I'm a passionate train fan. The journey is always more important to us than the destination.
    So, couple of times a year i love to grab the kids and go on a round trip across europe. Sometimes the misses and our dogs come along too.

    6:47 hmmm, totally not related to the fact that high speed lines usually use existing classic lines to enter cities. And you reach aachen haubtbahnhof immediately after crossing the border.

    Living in Bielefeld and visiting my mother
    in the UK - when she was alive.
    I know using Eurostar it was
    Bielefeld -> Köln with DB
    Köln -> Brussel again with DB
    then
    Brussel -> London with Eurostar (the blue one)
    It was always inside Germany
    that there were problems with
    timing and even once at Düren
    having to on an island platform
    having our train stop and another ICE pull up and
    doing a full passenger swap!
    Oh Joy!
    My partner is disabled so we had "fun".

      We were also evacuated from an ICE train, 7 years ago. However, on the open track on a bridge because of a suicide. This took 5 hours as two electric wheelchairs had to be carried over by the fire department. Crazy experience.
      BTW: Greetings from Minden 😁

      I worked in Oelde and live in Bielefeld
      There is a bridge over the main line
      at Neubeckum which seems to be popular
      with suicides
      and I remember being stuck
      for three hours waiting for a train home
      because of suicide in Neubeckum.
      That was the RE6 which goes to Minden

    What is the agreement on journey continuation Eurostar?
    The AJC allows the passenger to continue their journey by train. The AJC does not reimburse any costs for hotels, taxis, payments for the ticket or compensations, nor does it foresee that railway undertakings will offer any meals or refreshments. So thia was the case even before the merger..

    From WC USA, Is it just me or is the reason we travel is to look out the window at the scenery, not have our heads stuck in our phones? Also, it is true I was able to understand most of his English, I can’t always do that with people from the UK!
