    Eurostar St Pancras - is bedlam normal?

    What day was this? My last experience was on Thursday 29 February. I arrived before 06:00 for the 07:04 to Brussels. I was going to Lille. I got off a bus at 05:48, which stopped near the closest entrance to the departures area. Lucky me. I was through security in 13 minutes from leaving the...

    Eurostar "may cap services" EES data congestion?

    Selfishly I would have liked the Eurostar terminal to remain at Waterloo as it avoids the need to use the underground to reach St Pancras, which from Waterloo requires a change on route and the fastest route isn't step free. However, in reality I accept St Pancras is better for more passengers...

    Eurostar "may cap services" EES data congestion?

    I do hope there are two lines as I found out last year I was an Irish citzen. I knew I could apply to be one but wasn't aware I already was one. I just needed to prove it. My mum was born in Ireland and I was born before 2006. I am currently awaiting my Irish passport to be posted to me and in...

    Eurostar St Pancras - is bedlam normal?

    I still prefer it to flying from places like Gatwick Airport. Not done London City Airport though.

    Eurostar St Pancras - is bedlam normal?

    I try to arrive at the point Eurostar say I should arrive, whilst also allowing for the possibility of trains being delayed on route to Euston. For my next train I am getting a 7 am service on a Thursday and I'll be travelling from the Wood Green area.

    How does one reset their Deutsche Bahn Web Site password?

    I have forgotten my Deutsche Bahn password for their Web Site. When I go through the process of resetting it I get the following message: I'm not sure which app they are referring to and I don't have any two-factor authentication set up in my Google authentication for the site. Nor do I have a...

    Do other countries have better/worse apps than National Rail Enquiries App?

    I don't think the National Rail Enquiries App is that great but do other countries fair any better? (excuse the pun). When I put in Guildford to Amberley return for Saturday, outwards it suggests going via Reigate and Gatwick Airport. For the evening return via Leatherhead. However a 18:08...

    Row over €500 Gift Voucher could lead to strike

    Was paying people cash in the past more expensive or is it just more expensive now because less people do it? I am surprised workers are still paid cash though, in a first world country like Ireland, when working for a large firm.

    Shut down for Xmas?

    The only issue is getting to a station where trains are running. For example of you lived on Guildford, driving to a station might be as quick as driving to one's destination on boxing day. Although alas impractical, I do love the sound of this. If they could install some water pickup troughs...

    Overstretched UK border control cause delays at Gare du Nord

    I think the British boarder control is in Paris rather than London. Can't remember what is the case the other way round. Sent from my SM-G925F using Tapatalk

    Overstretched UK border control cause delays at Gare du Nord

    Perhaps there needs to be active publicity campaign, via posters, announcements and social media, to enorucgae people to only turn up x minutes before their departure and no earlier. Sent from my SM-G925F using Tapatalk --- old post above --- --- new post below --- How do we know it doesn't...

    Overstretched UK border control cause delays at Gare du Nord

    GdN dies at least have the St Christopher's Hostel opposite, meaning one can get a cheap night's stay in Paris whilst being close to the Eurostar.

    Belgium: Passenger name regulation could destroy cross-border rail

    That is most fascinating. Possibly one of the most fascinating things I've come across this week. Bureaucracy to its highest level. If Holland or Belgium governments ever talk about cutting red tape one can point to that town. Sent from my SM-G925F using Tapatalk

    Belgium: Passenger name regulation could destroy cross-border rail

    So how does that work legally for the house in two countries. Do they have an agreement as to which laws apply. After all there must be stuff legal in one country and not the other? Sent from my SM-G925F using Tapatalk

    Belgium: Passenger name regulation could destroy cross-border rail

    They would have to spend lots and lots of money creating separate platforms for the international trains so you can get on one. Same for would apply for regional trains that go across boarders. If anyone trys to get around it, just have a policy of shoot on site no questions asked. I'm not...

    That's amazing. Didn't know there were towns like that. Would make a good quiz question. Sent from my SM-G925F using Tapatalk --- old post above --- --- new post below --- Surely they would be exempt, just as the smoking ban in the England doesn't apply to the houses of Parliament. I know...

    Climb through the windows to get onto the platform

    Interesting. Wounder which approach I'd better, the responsibility to the individual or responsibility to the owner of side place? I'm quite happy for individuals to take more responsibility. Sent from my SM-G925F using Tapatalk
