Travel by train

Hello, I have been searching the internet for days now and somehow am growing a little more confused...!

So, I am really hoping someone may provide some pointers or info!

I am intending to catch a train from Paris to SJPP
After the pilgrimage, I am thinking to catch a train from Madrid or Barcelona to London.

Is there one ticket/pass that would encompass both these journeys?
(the Eurail does not cover U.K as I understand).
Or best to buy my tickets separately?

Then again, it seems more economical to purchase a flight from Spain to London...rather than train.

What sayeth ye?

Gracias!
 
The focus is on reducing the risk of failure through being well prepared. 2nd ed.
The first edition came out in 2003 and has become the go-to-guide for many pilgrims over the years. It is shipping with a Pilgrim Passport (Credential) from the cathedral in Santiago de Compostela.
You could get the High-speed train south to Bayonne or Biarritz. http://www.sncf.com and then a second train from Biarritz/Bayonne to St. Jean Pied de Port ± 1hr50 mins. : http://www.voyages-sncf.com/
Ryanair and Easyjet fly between Spain and London.
 
Hi.gypsy
Ryanair have really cheap flights from santiago to Stanstead London.
Some start at €19.00 but by the time all the bits and pieces have been added will most probably end up at about €50

Buen Camino
