First let's talk Euro Star What a great service this is on paper. Less formalities, no luggage in the hold and delivering you directly to the centre of Paris for a lighter carbon footprint than flying.
However, the first step was getting to the center of London. Eurostar departs from Kings Cross St Pancras, for those that aren't au fait with the London transport network, this is a great central location.
However, for people that live outside of London to get there for an early train was going to be touch and go. Our Train was 09:45 which meant to guarantee getting through security was going to mean getting there by 08:00, which if we'd left that morning would have been a 6am start, so no real saving compared to the airport which is a lot closer to Windsor.
Thankfully we were able to secure a room at the Holiday Inn Regents Park, and you can catch the review of that on another video.
The security queue in Eurostar was immense, and be prepared to be standing for 90 minutes. Once through due to the train before being cancelled it was standing room only, even in the business lounge. The business lounge was packed and limited in menu of what was on offer.
After eventually grabbing a seat we grabbed a couple of drinks and then headed down to the platform and they release you on to the platform in a huge wave of people.
Then you queue again, I love a good queue don't you, to get on to the carriage. Finally we were on our way, advantage Eurostar, as the scenery is great as you whizz through the countryside.
