Yeah the value of the restaurant car is completely understated in the UK.
It's so nice just to hop on and just get sommet whilst chilling in an area designed for it all.
This was me an hour ago

Piece of piss. Queued at ticket office, shown the HOTNAT and they booked me on a different route to same station.
Yes, France is a pain in the bloody arse with compulsory ressies and having to ticket office.. but at least the tickets add to the app regardless of where they were purchased/obtained.

HOTNAT obtained.
TM seemed quite happy when I asked for that, presumably as they dont need to explain anything 😅
The train I want to get goes a slightly different route to the one I'm booked on.. but ultimately I still go to the same final destination.
Now to see how SNCF deal with it.

Photo of the train an hour later going past us 👋
Also saw Russell the driver walk past. I wonder if its something like a hot axle box detector going off or sommet. Its quite a train to walk around.

Eurostar website pretends nothing is happening.
Go on LeShuttle and they acknowledge there's an issue.
Freight/car transport operator better than a passenger operator at passenger information... no surprise.

Aw a fault on my eurostar train, which is a fun test of their passenger comms.
TM says "update in 10 minutes", then get text and email saying train has an issue.. and then an update by PA. Strange way of doing it.

How to tell you dont fit the target demographic for Urban Outfitters...
They were asking everyone at the till if they had a student card... and then for my purchase asked if I had a blue light card 😭😭😭
All I wanted was this lovely poster x

Also completely baffles me as to why you'd spend £1.6m on redoing the wooden coaster to then close the park the next year. Absolutely mental decisions.

I'm staying on site next to the closed down Oakwood and I am within a stones throw of Megafobia.
It's soul destroying to be so close and yet not be able to ride it again!!

Turns out they dont have the key to the room so I had to move cabins
Its nice. Comfortable. Cool. Nice lighting and amenities
Downside: you hear everything. And the toilets aren't well designed so noone can shut the door properly and noone can find the features so you just hear a lot of crashing

First time on new gen Nightjet!!!

Though in my carriage all the wrong rooms are set up and I'm missing a room key so I'm a bit stuck whilst the attendant sorts out everything else first.

Help I find myself in a completely empty Miller and Carter 25mins before closing.
Probably one of the most awkward experiences in my life. But it's cool!
