Deutsche Bahn (German Rail) Rail travel from Britain to Germany has never been easier or faster. Passengers simply travel with Eurostar from London St. Pancras International or Ebbsfleet International through the Channel Tunnel to Brussels in Belgium. Once in Brussels it's usually only a very short walk through customs and on to a nearby platform. From Brussels there is a choice of two high speed services to Cologne. The Thalys operates from Paris via Brussels to Cologne and the German Intericity Express (ICE) operates from Brussels via Cologne to Frankfurt. The total journey time from London to Cologne is only 4h45 minutes. or you could travel all the way to Frankfurt in 6h30 minutes. Further improvements are likely by the end of 2009 when journey times could be reduced by as much as one hour, watch this space for further news! Cologne station is right in the heart of the city and just a few minute’s walk from all the Christmas Markets. After several years of restoration and renovation the historical station building has been turned into a really nice and modern travel centre. Watch out for the Special Christmas fare from Deutsche Bahn UK (German Rail) which could be as low as £96 return to Cologne, for further information about fares, train times and reservations call 08718 80 80 66 or visit:
