Eurostar and Virgin Trains join forces to offer a joint service to the MICE market

Thanks to the combination of rail networks Eurostar and Virgin TrainsOrganisers can now book on a dedicated single platformThe aim is to make it easier to reach cities like Manchester, Liverpool and Birmingham, which are currently overshadowed by London in this market. The aim is to make cities such as Manchester, Liverpool and Birmingham, which are currently overshadowed by London in this market, more accessible. For MICE groupsThe tool allows you to reserve seat quotas and carriages in three classes of travel, or even entire trains with several catering options. It also authorises autonomous ticket management for all participants.

This agreement with Virgin Trains is a major boost for Eurostar, which has been positioning itself in the events segment since thesummer 2018, going so far as to offer original activities during the trip.

We hope that the vagueness about the consequences of the Brexit is of no concern to specialist agencies and companies, with Eurostar - like Eurotunnel - having so far only obtained a three-month reprieve to continue travelling in the event of the United Kingdom leaving the European Union without an agreement on 29 March.
