International travel by train
International travel starts at your local station. With frequent, direct train connections to Gatwick Airport and Luton Airport, and with Eurostar located at St Pancras International, travelling abroad by train is even easier.
And for visitors to the country - BritRail passes and point-to-point tickets are the official rail products for overseas travellers to the UK.
St Pancras International & Eurostar
Eurostar is located at the stunning new St Pancras International terminal, bringing Europe to your doorstep by train as well as plane.

 | Gatwick Airport is a 35-minute train journey from central London with trains running every 10 minutes at peak periods via St Pancras International. The station is linked to the South Terminal and is only a few minutes* from the North Terminal by a free train link. *Note the transit is closed for 8 months from early October 2009. Allow an extra 20 mins. |
From plane to central London can take less than an hour by train. Fast, frequent buses regularly shuttle passengers between the terminal and Luton Airport Parkway rail station in under ten minutes. Travelling to and from Luton Airport and London? Skip the queues by printing your ticket at home!
