Eurostar vs. raileurope
We are traveling to Amsterdam and we want to go to Bruges then onto London. I.m a bit confused. I realize I need to go both ways (Ams to Bruges then Bruges to London) via Brussels but which train is better? Anyone, please?

Eurostar is the train that goes underneath the Channel, and connects London to Paris and Brussels.
Raileurope is a site where you can buy railtickets. Two different things.
For Amsterdam - Bruges take an Intercity train to Antwerp - change for Brugge in Antwerp.
Bruges - London; to to Brussels Midi (South) and take the Eurostar to London. Or possibly to Lilles, from where you can also take the Eurostar to London.
For Eurostar tickets; www.eurostar.com - if you want a ticket that also covers your Brugge - Brussel train, then choose 'from Any Belgian Station'. Your Eurostar ticket will then also cover your local train to Brussels South.
Book these tickets early - they can get very expensive.

RailEurope is a travel agency jointly owned by the French and Swiss railway companies. It is usually more expensive (sometimes much more expensive) to buy your tickets from RE rather than from the railway companies direct. For more info on buying tickets see: http://www.seat61.com/London-to-Pari...rostar_tickets
