See post 13 above.
Not particularly, but I believe that Trainsplit sells them.
Trainsplit sell them which makes it a bit easier. Otherwise it's a ticket office. Usually if you tell them that you want a ticket to London International ("No, not St Pancras International, it's a specific destination for Eurostar, try typing LNE as the station code") they'll normally manage it but it can require some gentle persuasion and guidance.
I believe Eurostar used to sell another type of ticket which was to London Eurostar though it wasn't available from all stations, they were very cheap I think compared to tickets to LNE. But they dropped those a while ago, pre-pandemic even!
That's taking a bit of a cavalier attitude to having additional time!
Yes indeed, the destination Lndon Estar Civ (NLC 9934) was available for this purpose, but tickets were only (supposed to be) sold by Eurostar themselves. This was possible via the Eurostar website for major stations to book at the same time as one's Eurostar ticket only – tickets would be fulfilled to ToD or post. There was also a telephone line which was answered by a Eurostar chap in Ashford station which would allow tickets to be purchased from any station in conjunction with a Eurostar booking, and these would be posted out. It is believed that the chap in Ashford retired and wasn't replaced, and Eurostar shortly afterward removed the various domestic stations from their website and app when they redesigned them, citing low demand.
Interesting. Bahn.com shows the 1818 as a connection - although not official I assume it's using something to generate its times?
Especially as any pint you buy is likely to be lacking a head.
Which is irrelevant since the international and domestic parts of St Pancras are treated as separate stations. That time would be for a connection between LNER and EMR/HS1.
Having arrived back to St Panc recently from Paris, I'd definitely suggest the 18:30 is the earliest to get. If you are in the first 2 or 3 coaches from the buffers, then you might make the 18:18, but even then you'd have to be one of the first off the train, as people disembark and just stand still (seriously !).
Exactly that, 1 minute walk plus a 15 minute minimum connection time either side for a normal Kings Cross to St Pancras walk
I think that is very optimistic.
The same Eurostar page I referenced earlier says TOCs will accommodate you for a delayed Eurostar, though of course without mentioning minimum connection times...
You mean because I got the connecting time wrong, or because they don't have to help if it's not a CIV ticket?
Because of the too short connection time.
