Wheelchairs & Baby Prams.....

If you have a wheelchair you are pretty much screwed, eurostar has only a limited space for wheelchair users, when i say limited I mean 1 or 2 on the entire eurostar. If you have a buggy, dont be an idiot like many parents I notice on the eurostar, do not push your baby onto the train expecting to push ur pram to your seat because it just is not going to happen, i repeat it is NOT going to happen. There is just not enough room for your buggy, be it a Quinny, Stokke, bugaboo, icandy or whatever buggy you got, FOLD IT UP BEFORE you get on the train thus preventing a frustrated 10 to 20 passenger bottleneck line who are all waiting for you the idiot parent to finally realise you need to fold your pram.

Anyway, there is not enough luggage space already so pram space is just non existent. I once see a woman with a stokke buggy, she folded up her pram and tried to store it above on the over storage compartment. It later dropped on someones head. Yes there are very very stupid parents with prams that travel on eurostar.



Dirty trains....

I have traveled several times this week, unfortunately i have no choice as my employer books it for me.
The trains are so damn dirty, the seats, the headrest, the air ventilation units, the baby changing facilities are a joke, you might as well put ur baby on the floor and change her there, its that bad.
There is limited luggage space so everyone hurrys to get on board the train like sheep, the windows are dirty the blinds are shared between 4 people so adjust at your own peril, the seats are too small the leg room is for smurfs and the toilets resemble that to a mexico jail house i once see on tv.

Rubbish Food....(Bring your own!)

Eurostar still serves eurostar food. They ALWAYS serve their breakfast rolls too hot for human consumption. If we were robots made of steel maybe it would be just about right. but after you hand over your £4.50 for a burnt sandwich, you will find the most strangest bacon u ever see, its 90% fat and 100% crap. With something that looks like egg droppings inside. Its worth £1 max. But considering its unhealthy as hell its not worth buying it in the first place.

PS: They have started a new waitrose microwave food, but its still microwave food.
