Anyone booking Eurostar use the code FEB2026PAYDAY for 30% off fares.

Bugger. Booked before looking here ! Schoolboy error.

Same. But the rate it was going up compared to when I checked yesterday, it might balance out.

Flew to CDG last time and not done EuroStar before- whats it like?

I like it. Easy check in - all security done at the point of departure so straight off the other end. The waiting area can get crowded but there's shops and bars. We're going Monday and carrying on to Brussels for a few days - the missus wants to go to Antwerp as we spent time in Lille last time. Will get a train back from there on match day and just have the one night in Lille.

Thank you!

So how did you like the Eurostar Ads?

Very straight forward and quick. St Pancras is a bit pokey, but you're not hanging around for long really.

Think they’ve got plans to massively increase that departures bit at St Pancras but knowing the UK it’ll probably take 5 years to get planning permission.

Feeling a bit more confident now. Every chance Bologna win next week, and we face Midgetland in the semis...

Isn't the return leg in Rome?

1-1 first leg. Adv Roma, I'd have thought.

We're now 9/4 favourites to win it, then Lyon 6/1 and Porto 7/1.

Im stunned lyon  are 6/1 might stick a tenner on that. Thats a good bet

I heard they are going to introduce the double decker trains you see in some parts of Europe

My first time using the Eurostar. I was quite impressed. I didn't know you did passport control before boarding, meaning you can get off straight away the other side.
Departues hall was quote cramped , but as Ads said, you're not there long

The return ( on bloody Wednesday) was 10 mins late getting on, meaning I missed my train to Brum which was annoying. But had the carriage to myself

Looking ahead, which is always tempting fate I know, Roma and Porto are very  easy to get to.
Midtjylland seems a right pain however.

I did Eurostar for Lille. I'd forgot you did one lot of passport control, followed by the next lot five metres later before you board the train. It was all very smooth, and in truth, as easy a trip to an away leg as we'll get this season.

Eurostar was chuffin' pricey, mind.
