London
Train Stations:
The British
Rail train network connects London to all the major cities, and
most towns within the UK (and some European destinations); often,
it's advisable to reserve your seat where possible. In addition,
Eurostar trains go directly from London to Paris and Brussells via
the Channel Tunnel.
There are nine
major British Rail train stations in London, each serving different
parts of the UK; therefore the station you travel from is determined
by where you want to go, and so you need to know and get to the
right train station in order to successfully make your journey.
London Transport
have a 'Stationlink' bus service which runs between the major London
British Rail stations; in addition all the stations are part of
the Underground train network, and so it is reasonably easy to travel
from one station to another.
On the trains,
there are many levels of service, from Economy Class to First Class
travel, restaurant facilities and Sleeper carriages (which allows
you to have a bed to rest in during your journey).
