Station Information
Modernising the Paris station for a smoother journey
Over
the next few months there will be various renovations in Paris Gare du Nord, all intended to
smooth travellers journeys and give a timely makeover.
The changes will open up the space between check-in and the departure lounge to ease the
journey through security and passport controls, particularly at busy times.
The first change is our brand new ticket office which is now open, soon to be followed by
improvements to minimise queues through check-in and security.
During these renovations, we advise Standard and Standard Premier travellers to allow extra
time on top of the normal 30 minute check-in, particularly between December 2011 and February
2012.
Wherever possible we will keep 10 minute check-in for Business Premier travellers and Eurostar™
carte blanche holders. Throughout January 2012 however we do expect some queues so we would
advise that travellers allow extra time and look out for the dedicated Business
Premier/Eurostar™ carte blanche line at check-in.
