Through security and passport control at St Pancras and now waiting to board. Super smooth and impressively quick, no queue at all. This is how international travel should feel.

Next stop Brussels on Eurostar, then onwards by night train into Central Europe. The rail adventure continues.

Ok, so I have a hot take for you. The passenger experience at #Eurostar #StPancras is, at best, mediocre. Above you, out of sight is the amazing train shed, but you can’t see that when you’ve checked in, because you’re kept in the dungeon , waiting for time to board, which is 20 minutes before departure, but we’re implied to arrive 80 mins before departure and as a result, the dungeon is over full, with just two trainloads of pax. Competition can’t come soon enough. 4/n
Passengers continue to wait at #StPancras. #London #UK

Sitze jetzt im #EuroStar #EST9136 und gleich geht es von #StPancras zurück. Hat heute bisher alles gut geklappt. Aber #DeutscheBahn kommt ja noch.
