Booking A Train From London To The Hague

Just out of curiosity, I looked at how much it would cost me to go from St. Pancras to The Hague next Wednesday, the 30th of January.

So I looked up on the Belgian Rail web site called b-europe.co.uk.  They offer two routes.

You can go to Brussels Midi, where you take a train to Essen in Germany and then another one to Rosendaal in The Netherlands, from where you get a Dutch train to The Hague. For this Grand Tour of the Low Countries you will pay £114.42.

Alternatively, you can take the Thalys from Brussels to Rotterdam and then take the train to The Hague. It will be 17 minutes quicker, but you can’t book it in Second Class, so it’ll cost you £188.75 in First.

I have done the single leg in the past for under £100  and I can book it for about £60 by means of easyJet.

So who would use the train from London to The Hague?

Not this enthusiast for rail travel, for a start!

It’s all double-Dutch to me!
