Wien / Vienna to London by train

There are four options available when taking a journey by train from Wien/Vienna to London:

  1. It is possible by day with only two changes of train required.

  2. On Mon/Thurs and Saturday a relatively new option is to travel overnight to Paris to connect into a Eurostar from there to London.
    Though a transfer between railway terminals in Paris is required.

  3. The simplest option for a rail journey between the Austrian and UK capital cities which involves just two trains and no need to make an inter-station transfer; involves the night train to Bruxelles and the Eurostar on to London.
    The night train departs Wien Hbf on Tuesday, Thursday and Sunday evening, but spending around 3hrs between trains in Bruxelles is required.

  4. That three hours between trains is also required on the evenings when the Wien to Bruxelles train isn't available.
