Here's a first for me: I'm blogging somewhere under the English Channel. I'm off to Le Web 3 in Paris and finally getting to travel by Eurostar.
And, hmm, well, it's a touch disappointing. All the adverts they show you of the service certainly don't show you the economy class which, like a good corporate citizen, I've chosen. It's cramped, just a little too warm and feels ever-so-slightly grimy. In future, I'll see if I can wing it into business class.
Aren't Eurostar in a bit of trouble at the moment? There is talk of the Brussels service from Ashford being cancelled and slashing the trains to France. I looked at their website for day trip prices and a return for two nearly hit £300. With all the talk about air travel not being green I'd expect the government to start investing or pushing such a service (?)
