Oh joy. There's a child with an indulgent parent. Am deploying the earbuds. #Eurostar #Interrail
Just time for some more #FreeStuff in the #LNER lounge before checking in for the 16:31 #Eurostar to Pawee. #Interrail
Ich habe mich die ganze Zeit gewundert, dass in der #Eurostar app kein Gleis angegeben wird. Gerade stelle ich fest: das liegt daran, dass das hier hoch digital und dynamisch läuft. Ich kann also Wochen vorher den Zug in der #deutscheBahn App raussuchen und sehen, an welchem Gleis ich abfahre/ ankomme... Aber in Paris erfährt man das vor Ort, kurz vor Abfahrt. Und nun denke ich: unglaublich, dass wir das schon so eintakten. Aber kein Wunder bei Stellwerken von 1892.... #reisenMitDerDeutschenBahn
There once was a man named Jonn Elledge
Whose idea was hard to allege
A train ride so long
From UK to Hong Kong
Could he make it? You bet he'll pledge!

An dieser Stelle brechen wir mal eine Lanze für Eurostar und ein bisschen auch DB:
Im Reisezentrum gab es eine Bescheinigung, dass der re Verspätung hatte und wir daher den Anschluss nicht bekommen haben.
Damit wurden wir zum Zugführer des Eurostar geschickt - Wagen 25. wie ungefähr 200 andere Leute auch. Habe den Herrn gefunden, er war trotz der Masse an Leuten sehr ruhig und sachlich. "Wie viele Personen?"
*Tipp Tipp tipp*
"Wagen 24, Platz....."
Mega gut.
Und es gibt Getränkehalter. #eurostar
Italian rail operator reveals a €1bn investment to tackle Eurostar's monopoly.
Italian railway group Ferrovie dello Stato (FS) has revealed plans to launch a high-speed rail service between Paris and London.
Set to be launched by 2029, the service will challenge Eurostar’s long-running monopoly on the route.
The project would be carried out in partnership with Spanish firm Evolyn.

Italienische Bahn will Paris-London durch den Eurotunnel anbieten
Die italienische Staatsbahn will dem Eurostar zwischen Paris und London Konkurrenz machen. Zugreisen durch den Eurotunnel könnten günstiger werden - sobald die letzten Hürden überwunden sind.

Cross-Channel train services t...
Eurostar rivals are given the ‘green signal’ for cross-Channel trains: What could it mean for passengers?
For decades, Eurostar has been the only rail operator running through the Channel Tunnel. But recent shifts in regulation and burgeoning demand for lower-carbon travel options have boosted interest from competitors.
A handful of courageous rail companies are keen to make it happen.

I had 90 minutes connection time, which turned out to be plenty, but as usual, I was worried it wouldn’t be enough. The #Eurostar terminal is starting to show its age. Scruffy at the edges. (The one thing that I miss about the other place is following #EurostarJustin - I enjoyed his posts. Any equivalent on the fediverse?). Anyhow, we smashed our way through France. It’s a fair old dap… 9/n
#Eurostar on time and #freestuff available. It seems I’m going to reach London on time.
#CrossChannelRail : Day 2, #Lille - #London - #York - #Harrogate
Thanks to #eurostar delay, no waiting in #KingsCross. Could check platform from #nationalRail live board, had QR code ready, the only thing was to jump above Mr FirstOut who had built a wall of suitcases at carriage door - then remember, twice to the right in #StPancras.
#LNER #London #Edinburgh : have reservation at front of train, I stopped midway.
that's alternating current
ish

#CrossChannelRail : Day 2, #Lille - #London - #York - #Harrogate
Waiting in #LilleEurope :
although understaffed
today
#Eurostar : Good in France, none in tunnel, poor in the UK
20 min delay "due to operational issues" in #Rotterdam
I have a 30-min connection between #StPancras and #KingsCross, could still work… Staff announced delay and went thru carriage, I could get a Railteam delay certificate (not sure it's valid for my #LNER train, but worked last time)
#Eurostar says it is adding more seats on its trains between #London and #Paris to help airline passengers affected by #Heathrow's closure with two extra services in each direction on Friday for 882 passengers per train.
