On domestic UK rail services, the maximum discount available (by and large) for a wheelchair user and one companion is 34% off regular fares using a Disabled Persons Railcard.
Therefore, I can't quite believe that Eurostar offer a flat single fare of £29 per person for a wheelchair user and one companion, for travel in either Standard Premier or Business Premier (one can elect between the two when booking, so one would choose Business Premier where available). All the trimmings - inclusive meals etc - are included. There is no minimum booking period (as of 02:00 this morning it is possible to book tickets in Standard Premier on the 06:18 from London to Paris), although Business Premier tickets "only" seem to be available when booking at least 3 to 5 days in advance.
If wanting to travel next Wednesday (in 4 days' time) in Business Premier on the 07:55 from London to Paris and the 18:13 from Paris to London, a wheelchair user and one companion would pay £116. A deaf-blind person and one companion would pay £980, just like any two persons travelling together.
