What a mess !


If anyone of you have heard about the 1 mile queue of Eurostar passengers in St Pancras station in London, I was there yesterday !!! I was fortunate enough to get through that crowd and board a train at 7:45 pm which made me arrive in Paris at 0:30 but lots of people are still stuck in London and Paris trying to get or come back from there. Incredible ! It only snowed Saturday in London and when we got in Paris last night there were not a trace of snow. Can you imagine that they closed Heathrow during nearly 2 days for that !

Well, I have wondered if you went and if you made it back -- glad to know that you survived. Our news showed Heathrow every half hour and the train stations as well. So glad that you braved it all to bring back photos!

I won't even ask how you got to the front of that queue...

Bises,

Wow, quite a crowd. Now I have a picture to go with the news reports I've been hearing this morning.

Hi Laurent

I am travelling tommorow with my family. I was wondering how they are operating queing system for those who already have tickets?
I am mot looking forward to the wait tommorow amd dreading not being able to catch a train. Any tip how you manage to board a train: Did you have to persevere not to accept a refund and wait.

Europe has gone mad this winter, as if we never had winters before.

I was in that sam station back in July 2009 - it was much easier then! Zut alors!
Merry Christmas in advance, Laurent!
