Day trip with lunch in Lille

On Tuesday 15th October we are doing a Day Trip to Lille.

We will be catching the 09.01 departure from St Pancras, arriving at Lille Europe at 11.26.

First stop will be the 3 Brasseurs opposite Lille Flanders station for a quick lunch, and possibly some Flammekueche, if you like it. We will then walk into the Old Town and explore the many shops and possibly visit the excellent City Museum. At around 16.30 we will start looking for somewhere to have dinner before catching our train back to London at 19.30, arriving back at St Pancras at 19.59.

Please use your Staff Travel vouchers using Aria, if you have any.  If you do NOT have vouchers please let me know and we will organise some PALS tickets for you. We will be travelling Standard Class.

On the Outbound train please book seats in coach 12.

On the Return train please book seats in coach 10.

At the moment there plenty of seats available in those coaches but please book early as the trains do get very busy, which is why we are promoting this trip now. As far as I’m aware the new Entry/Exit System planned by the EU will not come into force until 10th November so this will NOT affect our trip. You will however need to fill in the Advanced Passenger Information (API) form for all travellers in your party using the Aria staff travel website.

As usual please use the RSVP button on our website to tell us if you’d like to join us Events | esa-new-website (eurostarstaffassociation.org)  Thanks.

It should be an enjoyable day trip to a town many of us know well.
