i took the eurostar to Paris, as an american it is so embarrassing to see how wonderful, smooth and FAST Europes trains are compared to our jerky, broken, old and slow rail travel. I just took a 2 day trip from San Francisco to Chicago for fun and it was like being in a major earthquake the whole way.

Whilst this is true about the plane being faster and cheaper... the ease of security, baggage allowance (if any), being able to bring your own food, alcoholic beverages, all your toiletries and what not (literally almost anything with no restrictions), no customs upon arrival, in my honest opinion, outweighs me flying. I'd personally choose Eurostar to travel to the Netherlands over flying everytime x

But how it's changed! i have the impression that Europe has made much more progress than has the USA in the intervening years. I'm h happy for people there.... but wonder what our leaders are doing.

Incidentally I dropped into Trainworld in Schaerbeek on my back to the UK from southern Poland, deffo worth a visit 100%

Wow! Is that what the Eurostar was like back in February? I went in mid-June and it was complete noisy chaos. The departure hall was so full of people that no one could sit. It was so loud that it hurt. The check in had those airport scanning machines where people had to take off their jackets and belts and take out their laptops and the lines were backed up all the way down the station. I dream of it being this peaceful again!

Mm I'm a semi regular St Pancras to/from Amsterdam C. The big bugbear for me is dep at St Pancras and there, the few passport booths (both UK and French/Schengen), that are manned. Sometimes the queue stretches out into the main Rail Station concourse. And sometimes Eurostar has to call up front, people in the back of the queue, cos their train is soon to depart!! Thus wont be helped later when EU decides to introduce the ETIAS pass (for UK passport holders). [ Ah the joys of Brexit, I didnt vote for it!! ]
