@JosCreese That looks pretty normal, it often gets a lot more crowded than that. It's always been like that, even before Brexit and covid. Brussels has similar issues, Paris is not quite so bad though.

I thought @EurostarUK would be more civilized than Gatwick. I WAS WRONG - massively busy, no air, congested, systems not working properly….why can’t it be ‘hop on hop off’ (or are the number of checks now another #Brexit dividend?)

Only 10 days to go now.

See and hear me at the @BCoE_CIHT breakfast event 11 October:

@BearingAway All the noises and rolling aside I still prefer them to the ride to the voyager fleet where there are never enough coaches and hard to work on the airline seats. Going to be sad when they are gone.

Thought I would enjoy a ride on a soon to be withdrawn CrossCountry HST on my way home from Leeds tonight. I forgot how noisy the squeaking communication corridors are and how cramped the seating. It will still be a shame when they are gone.
