The wife and I would like to take the chunnel from Paris to London on the 31st of May, and come back the next day. Eurostar website was nearly $700 US for both, and the Euro Railways site is only $422.
Is this site a scam?
Thanks!

Just went to http://www.eurostar.com and it's giving me RT discount fares as low as 162pounds ($480USD for two people total) for that date. When on the Eurostar site tell it that you live in the UK.

Okay, I registered with the site, putting London as home, and got it down to $510. Still nearly $100 cheaper on Euro Railways. I'm just concerned how they're so much cheaper?

I've never used Euro Railways, but it looks to me like they are a travel agency. If so, they probably bought a block of Eurostar tickets well in advance at a reduced price and still have some left to unload.
However, the price Euro Railways offers isn't the lowest by any means. If you had booked your tickets well in advance (up to 120 days allowed) on the official Eurostar site, www.eurostar.com, you could have gotten roundtrip tickets for $108/person.

Well, I hope the Euro Railways works out. They had a $160 round trip deal going, so I got them both, after taxes and fees for $352, and selected the "e-ticket" option which said they can be redeemed at the station using a PNR number...hope this works!!
