Thanks. Very enthralling journey. What can I say. I did the journey to Lisbon, as a non flyer, several times on the Sud Express fifty years ago. Great fun but much more hit and miss in those days. Long before the tunnel. Brighton to Newhaven. The Paris to Hendaye/Irun. Then the Sud Express to Lisbon. Quite an experience. To get to the Algarve one had to cross the river by boat. Well done.

Sad to see that the eurostar still makes these ridiculously long stops in brussels. Thanks to these long stops, it usually is faster to change trans in brussels when travelling from the netherlands to and from london. As it defeats the purpose of the eurostar continuing after brussels (and hundreds of millions being spend on terminals for passport controls).

Don't know what I would prefer. Honestly from my point of view it's better to not have to change trains. But UK sadly has always been a special case. It's crazy to think they require passport control for travelling by train within Europe but that's sadly the case.

@@hd-gaming7506 usually they stop for 30 to 40 minutes in brussels, which is also shown in their timetable. And thing is, it is not needed, and this is also about perception. No matter how fast a train goes, it feels a lot slower if it stands still for half an hour.

@@seekingtravel honestly, not changing trains. I only took that route because it was half an hour faster (due to having a better connection to a local dutch train), and it was 80 euros cheaper for some reason. But it is more that such a long stop is completely unnecessary and has quite a negative impact on customer experience and journey time. Unless you are changing locomotives, a stop should not take more than 10 minutes.

I grew up in Brighton and have used this line many, many times. The ckass of trains I used as a kid were the slam door type. I remember the indicator boards being all paper signs that rotated on a woiden board and a plank of wood with white lettering, showing the station stops as you entered into the platforms. Such great memories.

For more comfort consider an Interrail 1st class .... on Eurostar you can sit in Standard Premier and be served a meal and drinks in the price of the ticket....did you consider London - to Lille and changing in Lille to a TGV for the south of France thus skipping Paris...it can workout well...otherwise a fine video.

Yep. I considered it all. But I wanted a video out of Eurostar as well, I will release a full London to Paris video on Eurostar with more footage and more info soon, and I didn't want to miss out on that. It is definitely in my plan to use an Interrail First Class sometime in the future :) I do have to raise a bit more money.
