Book months in advance of be robbed!

Just have to emphasize this fact, you MUST book your ticket months in advance otherwise you will pay 2 or 3 even 5 times more for the same chair on the same train. In other words Eurostar screws you up the ass for deciding last minute you wanna go somewhere, they assume that everyone knows months in advance before they need to travel and are more than happy to shake people down, con them into paying more when they need to go in short notice. Its a scam and people need to wake up.

Stupid passport checks

OK I have to say something about this rubbish, you get your passport checked when you arrive, after of course checking in and scanning your ticket, you have to go through UK passport control and then you have to go through another French passport control. so two checks, AND THEN UK customs says HELLO! Where are you from, where are you going, what do you do for a living pointless waste of life questions. So three checks. By now your passport should be feeling warm from all the handling of it. Finally reach the train, 30 minutes later, private security and police jump on the train and guess what? Check your passport AGAIN!!!!!! As if the first 3 checks was not enough! So 4 checks before you even arrive at your destination. Come on people sort yourself out.

UK CUSTOMS CONTROLS

First let me point out that NOT all UK customs staff are retarded, I met some really nice intelligent decent people who make me proud to be British. 

However, have met some real idiots and I mean serious mental issues going on inside, one crazy person was checking my bags leaving the UK to Paris for drugs, I am no drug dealer, but even I know that drug prices in London are the highest in Europe, why anyone would import drugs FROM London TO France!!?!?!? Makes no sense whatsoever. Why do we have UK customs in London checking passengers LEAVING the UK!?!?!? and checking for drugs!? How idiotic. At the same time its estimated 300 to 500 illegal immigrants are crossing our borders effortlessly hiding in trucks. WTF?!

Come on people sort yourself out we are paying tax to support your wages you could at least earn them.

So Eurostar customers, no matter your nationality you will probably get some harassment by UK customs. Especially if you fit some type of PROFILE, i.e dont look like bin laden going through the security check or you should add at least another 30 minutes to your journey, I think Eurostar currently do not offer such realistic warnings on their website. Good luck!
