Short Eurostar connections - covered?

[cuccir]

Hello

I think the answer is going to be yes, but just to check: if I buy a through ticket from a British to a French station via Eurostar, am I covered to travel on a later Eurostar service in the event of delays on my UK train? My specific journey is Durham to Paris and I'm being given connection times of 47 minutes, which should be fine if all is on time (I've managed to get from the train at Kings Cross to the departure lounge at St Pancras in under 10 minutes before!) but clearly is open to disruption with just a slight delay.

Cheers!

Yes, no probs if it's a through ticket including that connection.

Don't you need to have London International CIV (or something similar) on your UK ticket to ensure you get free rebooking? A "through" ticket, all booked at the same time, should give you that.

But, if it is a "standard" Durham > KX and then Eurostar, I don't think you will be covered...

I guess part of it comes down to who / how you buy the ticket.

Yes, I'm booking it all as one ticket with Eurostar, so I think my UK ticket will be to London CIV
