Eurostar is in significant constraints for various reasons, and is limited to a reduced schedule at high prices to Paris, Lille, Brussels, Amsterdam and a ski train. They have communicated very publicly 3 months ago that they are not doing anything more than the basics for all of 2023. Direct trains from London to anywhere like Avignon are not happening for some time.
I'm wondering why no airline at London City (or any London-area airport) has announced a route to Avignon. It was traditionally flown by Cityjet who have substantially left LCY... there now appears to be a clear gap in the market for S23. And no, I don't believe London-Marseille or Birmingham-Avignon are sufficiently strong competitors to prevent a City-Avignon route from being profitable
