Issues with Die Bahn website

I am trying to plan a trip from Stuttgart to Paris with the TGV( which is no problem on the site) and then from Paris to the London to the New Eurostar Station. My issue is that the webiste tries to link th e trip by taking like 5 connections that in some instances includes taking a boat!!!!( I think not) I am just wondering since the new Eurostar connection and station dont open up until November,I could be too early????

On the DB site I entered Stuttgart as the departure city and London as the arrival city, using a late November date. The arrival station was listed as London St. Pancras International. There were several route choices, some as simple as Stuttgart-Paris direct and then Paris-London direct. Try again and see what you get!

Why do you need to put in Paris to London - there's only one Eurostar service between the two so book that via the Eurostar website.

You can get a train to Calais, ferry to Dover and train to London which is probably what Die Bahn is showing

Hey Timothy.. Are we on the same site?? I tried again and it keeps bringing up London Liverpool . And yes, I am looking for the simple connection of 1 TGV and 1 Eurostar

Page works fine with me, either, maybe you could put in 'Paris' as a via-station? And it seems that there aren't that many useful connections (about two per day, dep. 6.55 or 12.55), thus explaining why the page tries to offer other connections. You could go via Cologne/Brussels, too: Slightly longer plus another changing of trains, but German Railways offers special deals from 29,- Euro (oneway, I think) starting from Cologne.

coolalvin,

Sorry, I'm stumped.

Try this. Use the DB site to see your choices for direct TGVs from Stuttgart to Paris. Then, since there is frequent Eurostar service for Paris-London, go to eurostar.com and pick a departure time that will allow you plenty of time to walk from Gare de l'Est to Gare du Nord plus meet the minimum Eurostar check-in time (30 minutes).

Or take the direct Stuttgart-Paris night train, saving yourself the cost of a night in a hotel, and then the Eurostar to Paris.

FYI, it takes less than 15 minutes to walk between Gare de l'Est and Gare du Nord. If the weather is lousy, it's one stop on the Metro (€1.40).

Just to complete the picture, bus #42 goes directly between the stations for the same price.

Looks as if you aren't viaing properly - Liverpool STREET is the destination station for trains from Harwich which is the destination port for ferries from Hook of Holland, so at a guess you are getting a route that isn't via Paris

This is a data problem with the DB online timetable.

For some dates in November, I gather the DB timetable isn't (yet?) loaded with Eurostar times. So with nothing linking London and Paris as far as it knows, it tries to default to other routes like Harwich-Hoek van Holland by ferry!

I suspect this could be connected with the first week or so of the new St Pancras high-speed Eurostar service from 14 November. There is a week or so when St pancras is open but the new Ebbsfleet station isn't, and Eurostar apparently don't plan to issue any printed timetables just for this short period. Not sure how/why this should affect online data, though, but I'm sure there's a link here somewhere...
