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

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 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.

It is cold in #Glasgow. #Interrail experience marred by children for most of the day. Good yummy #freestuff on the #Eurostar and #Avanti services. Much prettiness from my #siegeavecvue but I had to fight to stay awake so probably missed most of it.
Love me some #Eurostar action. Really friendly train team too. Yay. #interrail #WineOnTrains #ChooChoo
Whiled away an hour in #Lille with #StreetArtCities which was fun. Now waiting for my #Eurostar to London. #interrail https://streetartcities.com/

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

#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

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.

"Turn around, go to platform". Perhaps rebranding all trains as #eurostar wasn't the best move for clear information.
First time at the new UK terminal at Amsterdam Centraal. Nice waiting area with lots of sockets (including USB-A and -c). Quite crowded for a full train (probably more last-minute travellers today?), but should get bigger during the shutdowns over the next few months.
