Get to Paris or Brussels for £25

Congestion pricing is hot.

As well as Uber, now Eurostar have adopted the approach to spread demand for Eurostar tickets.

Eurostar‘s Snap ticket will allow travellers to get to Paris or Brussels for £25 each way, but time of travel will only be given 48 hours in advance, says The Guardian.

Passengers have to sign up via Facebook and specify whether they would prefer to travel in the morning or afternoon.

The fare must be booked at least seven days before travel and once passengers have paid for their ticket they are locked in, even if they don’t like their allocated departure time.

That means anyone who chooses a weekday morning could end up on the first Paris train of the day at 5.40am, while anyone who opts for the afternoon might not reach the City of Lights until 11.32pm.
