Eurostar, the high-speed passenger service linking London and mainland Europe, is launching a twelve day express sale on the January 3rd 2013.

Holidaymakers will be able to travel from London to Paris, Brussels and Lille from only £59 return for standard travel.

The express sale will run from January 3rd to the 14th, for travel from January 17th to March 27h 2013 and there will be 150,000 seats available.

Eurostar travellers to Paris and Brussels can also take advantage of ‘Eurostar Plus’, which offers all passengers 2 for 1 entry into paying exhibitions and permanent collections at some of the city’s most popular museums and galleries.

Mary Walsh, Director of Communications for Eurostar said: “We’re encouraging people to start the New Year in style with a great value city escape to Paris, Lille or Brussels. With our lowest fares available for travel up until late March, there is ample opportunity for passengers to indulge in a mini break on the Continent next year.”
