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!

End of Eurostar?

Looks like eurostar has been cooking the books. They reporting publicly that they have profits when as a matter of fact, when you use the correct exchange rate they are actually making a LOSS.
Just checked their website and they asking €170 for trip from London to Brussels!!!! WTF!?
Something is not right here, either eurostar is being screwed by someone with their costs, as in the CEO is not doing a very good job of things which would explain the high prices, OR they are just screwing us on prices. I mean come on eurostar, it costs just £46 return on the eurotunnel! Why the hell would anyone wanna pay €170 EACH WAY for a shitty service that eurostar provides!?

Business class waiting lounge UK.

Trust me on this one, your not missing much, the only thing different is there are backs to the chairs which already exist in the economy class waiting area and there are a few boring magazines you would never read anyway. complete with power sockets that dont work its a load of rubbish and over hyped.

Insane UK custom officers

Going from London to Paris, checked in at London gone through security passed passport control and then STOP!! UK Customs want to know who you are, where your going, what job you do and why your travelling. Why the hell would they want to know all this!? Its a train LEAVING the UK, not ENTERING!
lets say they stopped a drug dealer from exporting cocaine. That would have to be the dumbest drug dealer i ever known, because a quick google will tell you drug prices are higher in the UK than France, so what idiot would risk smuggling it OUT of the UK!? Thats like me smuggling rice into China! WHY!?!?!?!

Not all custom officers are mental, only the female ones or those without a military or police background or training. I have noticed terrible abuses of human rights its just insane. Anyway, we live in a policing global environment, there are lots of nutters out there and they come in all shapes, colors and sizes so be warned.

Instead of putting power hungry insane nutters on patrol spend a little money and beef up security that way, use scanners, full body scanners, substance detection equipment what is wrong with you people!?

Eurostar to Brussels then off to Germany

Eurostar........still the stinky smelly, small spaced over priced nut job railway it has always been.
No surprise there, but my isit to Germany from Brussels was very eye opening. Apparently police were called to the railway because an English speaking passengers visa debit card was not accepted on the train.
The conductor immediately called the police because she thought the passenger already eat the food.
When the police arrived the staff told the police the passenger did not eat anything and that the conductor was wrong in assuming they already eat the food. Then police just left and what a waste of everyones time as the train was also delayed as a result. If German efficiency exists, it certainly is not with the trains, brains or racist German thinkers.
