⁨#CrossChannelRail⁩ : final leg of Day 2, ⁨#Lille⁩ - ⁨#London⁩ - ⁨#York⁩ - ⁨#Harrogate⁩

So #LNER made sure I had time for a real ☕espresso (and lovely #baklava @Lebanese place) at #YorkStation by organising a 20min signalling problem in #Doncaster. No worries, this is #England and not #France: there are departures to Harrogate every 30min throughout the day.

#Northern #York #Leeds via Harrogate
💺 plenty
🛜🧽🧳🆗
🔌 untested–forgot adapter in previous train 😠
☀️ a problem as there are no curtains!

#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
🧽 👏
🧳🆗
☕ 😱

Waiting in #LilleEurope :

💺 🆗 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)

@sustainrelease When travelling with 1st Class in Britain you could have all your meals in such long-distance trains where meals are complimentary in 1st class;) Especially has good catering. Sadly no railway company offers such in continental Europe as far as I know. (Except for breakfast in SJ trains, and many operators offer coffee/tea. Sometimes snacks. Not DB, though.)

I’m fairly satisfied with even the “deli” class of breakfast and snacks offerings in first class. By choosing one’s journeys carefully, one could manage a whole day on the complementary breakfast, lunch, and evening meals and beers in these trains. @diningcar
