London to Dijon by train

The Eurostar will arrive in Paris at the Gare Du Nord, but the TGV to Dijon will depart from the Gare De Lyon.

This guide explains how to make the transfer between the two stations by RER train.
The London to Dijon tickets do not include the transfer across Paris.

When making a booking, check the connection time between the arrival at Gare Du Nord and the departure from Gare De Lyon.
The options with an end-to-end journey time of around 5hrs will allow around an hour to make the transfer, ideal if the Eurostar arrives in Paris on time, but this only allows for around 25 - 30mins contingency time in the event of a delay.

Book Early And Save: Yes

Online bookings open: 90 days ahead (usually)

The very cheapest tickets tend to sell out particularly quickly on this route - they're more likely to be available if you can travel on a Tuesday - Thursday, or are happy to set off from London early in the morning.

The price below is for a one way fare; if you're booking a return ticket, it's likely you will be offered a cheaper price in each direction.

A big plus of booking the Eurostar direct on Eurostar.com is that you can access a 'Manage Your Booking' facility - which enables you to change the seat that you will have been initially assigned when making a booking.

The different types of ticket summarised

Also worth knowing is that when travelling by Eurostar you can choose between three classes of service, and this also impacts on the exchanges and refunds of what Eurostar refers to as 'Flexible tickets'

If you book Standard or Standard Premier tickets, you can exchange them if need be, to an alternative departure on your booked route; but if you want to transfer your ticket to a new departure less than 7 days before your travel date, you will need to pay an admin fee of £30 for Standard Class tickets, £40 for Standard Premier tickets PLUS the price difference with the new ticket you will be booking.
What's new, in response to the pandemic, is that these £30/40 charges aren't applied if you want to transfer to an alternative departure more than seven days before your travel date.

Business Premier tickets are less restrictive, in response to the pandemic they can now be refunded and they can be exchanged to alternative departures without paying the admin fee, or the price difference.

Making the connection between the Eurostar from London and the TGV to Dijon in Lille has the major advantage of avoiding the need to transfer between stations in Paris - which you'll encounter if you take the regular, alternative route via the French capital.

Though the benefits are negated somewhat by the fact that the Eurostar from London will be arriving at Lille Europe station, but the TGV on to Dijon will be departing from Lille Flandres station.

This guide explains how to make the connection in Lille.

Depart daily from London at 15:04 and you will typically arrive in Lille at 17:26
The train on to Dijon is usually scheduled to depart at 18:57, so you'll have enough time to make the transfer, even if the Eurostar runs an hour late.

As the transfer time in Lille is more than hour, the ticket agents won't sell this end-2-end journey via Lille.
You will need to split the booking into London to Lille and Lille to Dijon journeys.

When available both journeys can be booked on Trainline and paid for in one transaction.
