Here's the early summer 2023 timetable.   London to Paris nonstop; London to Brussels, some trains call at Lille and some are extended to Amsterdam. Click on image to enlarge.

Thanks G - Hadn't realised Paris's had the Lille stop removed. Maybe a result of the pandemic

Or maybe because of Brexit  Grin - reduced traffic to Brussels leaves more space on those trains for the intermediate stop (and the Amsterdam extensions at times) and Paris is by far the broader flow / don't need to waste time stopping the London <-> Paris trains at Lille.

No local Lille <-> Paris traffic, so that's not an issue

Removal of the Lille stop is likely to be Brexit related as is Ashford and Ebbs Fleet, there may not be space for the post Brexit additional passport checks now required by UK (United Kingdom) Borderforce, EU» (European Union - about) (French Border Police) at these stations.

Most Eurostars are full going to Paris so do Eurostar need those additional stops?
