I would use Eurostar again but having to get four trains from where I live to Ostend plus a change of station in London is a bit much. There should be trains from other cities in the UK to Paris and Brussels. The world does not begin and end in London. The Eurostar fares are very attractive though. Regarding Ostend airport. I have flown in there twice from Stansted some years ago. Yes it is not in the town centre but it is only a few minutes by bus or taxi. I would love to be able to fly to Ostend again but, as I said, I don't know how sucessful a low cost point to point service would be.
