London to Brussels | Eurostar High Speed Rail Trip (2024)

[@azamyahmad]

Good morning from Montreal QC and welcome back Jhonny .. absolutely another beautiful sharing adventure and you rock it all again .. thanks and stay safe

[@EmilyFoxSeaton]

I had thought about doing this but -- if I do this now, I sure am going to try to do it when it isn't so busy. What a zoo.

[@SheenaRoberts]

I enjoyed watching the ride, thanks Johnny! It sure does look a less hassle than flying by air. I guess Eurostar departures is a lot busier than usual with schools finishing for the summer holidays so many families take advantage to travel this time. I'm glad you enjoyed the trip, many thanks and have a great weekend :)

[@RA76951]

It certainly is. I always flew to Paris from the UK - the other week I went by Eurostar for the 1st time. What a difference! Much more straightforward & comfortable. No more flying!

[@brownboybrownboy749]

Very nice video thank you to share !! Greetings from ogden utah...

[@martym61]

Enjoyed the train ride. Wow that station was crowded.

[@ronster911]

Great livestream, my wife and I just did this in May. But we then took the train from Brussels to Bruges. Yes it was packed in the morning when we went.

[@davew.7115]

This is going to be a great series , Be Safe Johnny . That's funny in Dundas , I remember that guy drinking water and you were so disgusted .

[@Mary-wk6of]

Thank you so much Johnny ☺️

[@dylanreynolds8264]

good morning everyone

[@whitefield4]

Thanks Johnny for another great video. Eurostar is indeed a great service to go to europe from The united kingdom. Really enjoyed this one as well. Can't wait to see the rest of your europe videos from this trip 😊

[@KManEssen]

I love your transit videos 👍

[@offbeatdestination_bd]

Lovely video! I enjoyed watching the ride. +1 subscribed!

[@tonguepiercing]

On my 20 or so trips on this route the most delay Inhad was 20 minutes. I witnessed several vloggers filming their experience with staff being helpfull.

[@FalcomScott312]

Good morning Johnny, how are you, mate? This ride from London, England 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 to Brussels is going to be interesting to watch. Have a great weekend & I hope you visit Primrose Hill the next time you visit London here! 👍😎💂‍♂️🇬🇧

[@jacquelines9966]

Good morning

[@Mrtribru69]

I have passed through St Pancras station multiple times, to and fro from Belgium. It was few times...so horribly crowded, people pushing, shoving each other at the limited crowded sitting place. Eurostar to Belgium was fully packed last july 2024

[@mazybee9149]

It's always overcrowded at the interchange holding area in St Pancras. Not very good if you're disabled though. Beautiful sunshine you had travelling. Someone moaned at me for hitting him with my backpack but the train was so packed at xmas. Accidents happen, he wasn't nice.

[@tonguepiercing]

The metro in Brussels south/zuid/midi has several lines, but the one going north towards the centre is a tram runiing in metro tunnel for this part of the journey. Large works are ongoing to convert this line into a real metro.

[@МаринаПархимович-м1и]

Доброго времени суток, Джонни! Отличное видео, очень интересный экскурс! Это круто!

[@TheRailwayDrone]

St. Pancras is the most beautiful railway station I've ever visited. I can't wait to take another trip across the pond.

[@Mrtribru69]

You should once travel to Antwerp Central Train station in Belgium. Such beautiful grand architecture!

[@heatherhoward2513]

Did you travel during summer holidays? Lots of families by the look of it. No wonder it was crowded.

[@tonguepiercing]

The more expensive ticket you went for gives a little more space and comfort, and that is the reason to go for it, but definitely not the meal which can be very simple and small.

[@pasccuci]

Johnny, excelente video, st pancras es hermosa, la de Bruselas no tanto

[@lindalw1163]

Jonny, next time you should take a trip on london buses.. you can see where you are going above ground 🤗🇬🇧♥️

[@tonguepiercing]

Brussels Midi station has plenty of shops and services, but avoid the bathrooms, and definitely in the evening.

[@tonguepiercing]

The escalator in Brussels that was broken seems to be an unlucky one because over the years I haveseen it broken regularly, even if it is each time repaired.

[@tonguepiercing]

If booked in advance on selected dates, the London Brussels return journey can be found below 100 euro/dollar.

[@tonguepiercing]

The overcrowded station at St Pancreas is annoying, certainly if you het there early and spend over an hour waiting. On the other hand, arriving late can have you wait in long lines and with a risk of missing the train. I try and arrive around 55 minutes before the train departure.

[@6west7r]

I don't know how you do all this alone you sure brave but it seems you are doing just fine i my self could not take all those people have fun are

[@glenncooney3959]

St Pancras is my favourite railway station in the UK. Nottingham is my second city (as my best mate lives there so I go to his regularly) so I usually visit St Pancras rather regularly (from platforms 1-4, on the other side of the barbed wire fence). Still yet to do Eurostar. The immigration process has been the same both before and after Brexs**t (I hate Brexit) as the Uk isn’t part of the Schengen area. If only it wasn’t so persnickety but it wouldn’t be the UK otherwise lol. And I agree with you about the Kent countryside. Not great but most English people will agree (except the Kentish folks)

[@sandere6593]

I paid 174 euro for Rotterdam-Londen (return ticket) but I viewing your video you bought a ticket for premium class.

[@Erwinjung]

Excellent video. I had to laugh when you said that you were going into the bathroom, and there was no bath in the room. I think you meant the WC. The graffiti entering Bruxells is horible. There is no such thing as a Belgium language. Biggest language in Begium is Dutch followed by French and German. Its an excellent video that I enjoyed watching.

[@melarch.5424]

You think St. Pancras is a zoo? You should try Euston!

[@holdingpointaviation]

1:41 Hate to be the "uhm actually" person but the EU never defines open borders. That is the Schengen zone which was created during WWIII. Switzerland is not in the EU but because it is in the Schengen zone no passport checks are needed to enter France for example. The UK used to be in the EU but was never in the Schengen zone.

[@VongChung-f1q]

There going to Brussels by train

[@taylorhannvlogs]

Johnny I’m in Toronto now if ya wants to meet up

[@ronster911]

My wife paid 1 euro for the toilet and there was no toilet seat. Lol

[@heatherhoward2513]

Because they get vandalised if there's a lid.

[@joannedeal3418]

Why was the attendant so against you filming her? Maybe she was doing it wrong somehow.

[@JohnnyStrides]

I have no idea... a bit odd given her job is customer facing.

[@tonguepiercing]

The train managers doing the onboard announcements are good in their mothertongue, but in the other 2 languages it can be difficult to understand or even hilarious. Good exceptions exist.

[@theyofactor]

She made you delete the video? Wow that's some hospitality, along with the lady who was using your bag as a food tray. I think I better not travel!

[@FrannieZellman]

They speak Flemish, actually,

[@craighobbs3708]

Brussels Midi Station is actually quite dangerous, it’s not very nice at all. London is much better and feels safer

[@thecheez3418]

Immigration was necessary even when the UK was a member of the EU. Nothing has really changed for tourists.

[@gabygaedecke2411]

I HATE being herded! In China, lining up with the masses for the high-speed trains was traumatic - this doesn't even seem as well organized as that was. And I am trying to imagine how it must be for folks with gaps in their English fluency.

[@aoilpe]

I don’t like St.Pancras International Station…! It’s always cramped and uninspiring…😡

[@heatherhoward2513]

You're joking. It's great.

[@davidmacdonald3393]

Way too long, edit more please!

[@lisadeeyoung]

Well since you're the only one that matters, what would be an acceptable length for you?

[@JohnnyStrides]

That's the style of video I make.. there's plenty of videos out there of people going on journeys like this cut up into short segments with annoying vloggy music playing :P

[@openbob6656]

makes no sense to use these "high speed" trains in europe. if you traveled by car you'd be there 2 hours faster

[@ianpilkington2037]

@openbob6656 2 hours south of London wouldn't get you out of England nvm to the continent

[@openbob6656]

@@ianpilkington2037 but he was waiting for the checkup and passport control for hours and no seats available and then boarding the train and all that process is so inconvenient and stressful and long that it would just be easier and faster to get in a car and drive there.

[@kevinrichard100]

You 'd be there 2 hours faster by car? Train 2 hours. 186mph. So you're saying car zero hours. So you drive faster than the speed of light?

[@heatherhoward2513]

​@openbob6656 he was there 90 minutes before, on airplanes, you get there 3 hours before and sit around!
