    London to Amsterdam by train in 4 hours! Amazing. I remember flying in 1992 and my overall journey taking at least twice that, once you count check-in and baggage claim and the metro to and from each airport. I’m jealous!

    • @yasukiwi
      @yasukiwi Год назад

      I just came back from 2 weeks in Japan. On previous trips I always got the standard class JR Pass but this time as the difference between the standard and Green (First class) passes seemed to be less than before, I got the Green Pass.
      The Standard class seats and carriages are fine, but the Green class seats and carriages were very nice, and I would recommend to anyone that if they are going to Japan and getting a JR Pass, if they can afford it, to get a Green car Pass and ride in a bit more luxury!
      The only area, Japanese trains fall down compared to the Eurostar and Other European trains, is the lack of Green Class lounges like Kuga san had access to in London for the Eurostar.

    It's shocking how expensive Eurostar services are. You could've taken the Frecciarossa from Paris to Milan (an almost 7 hour trip) in Executive Class for half the price of this trip! They really need competition to lower such outrageous prices.

      Before Brexit Eurostar was also part of the Europa Sparpreis programm of Deutsche Bahn to get cheaper tickets if booked early in advance, sadly thats gone now. Back in 2009 i booked a trip+return from Frankfurt to London via Brussels, 1st class in both trains (ICE/Eurostar) with complementary dinner for 325€! Absolutely stunning

    • @Sleepysod
      @Sleepysod Год назад +5

      The difference between business and standard premier doesn’t justify the price difference. If you travel regularly enough then you can get carte Blanche access to the priority lane and the business lounge. Buying in advance for tickets is really advisable but doesn’t seem to make any real difference for business premier because they are pretty much 100% flexible

      E* has been so expensive for months. Sometimes it can cost less to take the plane. One reason is that E* is having to cut the number of seats it can sell out of StPancras by 30% owing to delays in clearing formalities. So less capacity = higher fares (because E* considers itself more an airline than a humble train firm). Former CEO M Damas (he stepped down end September) wrote to MP Hugh Merriman about these issues. Do an online search and you will find the details.

    I have been told that it is a lot cheaper if you are in the Netherlands and book the return trip.
    It is also very sad that no one bothers to clean our trains :( Almost any other country the front of the train is shiny and good looking, not 6 months of dead flies :(
    Not proud of our trains in the UK. We may have invented them, but we really haven't progressed much compared to the rest of the world.

    I took the Eurostar from Lille to London last month, I was suppose to take from London to Paris, but had to fly instead because of the rail strike. A lot better than flying on Air France the airline almost lost my luggage. Although my rental car reservation was already at Charles de Gaulle Airport.

    Overnight ferry from Harwich to Hook of Holland is cheaper, slower and more relaxed. Take the train from Liverpool Station (Famous from Mission impossible) to Harwich International. Ferry to Hook of Holland, Metro to Schiedam or Rotterdam and from there to other places in NL. Or .. Take the train to Groningen, the bus to Eemshaven and then the Ferry to Kristiansand Norway.
