The very short single line between St Pancras Eurostar platforms and the Midland Main Line!

Not to mention different studios, microphones, recording devices, and a different sound engineer's ear if any editing was done eg adding some EQ...

Where is the 'like' button? :lol:

Well, yes and no: it's (at least) £10 to be dumped in Paddington where you then potentially need to figure out even more onward travel and wheel your luggage to the other platforms. Plus - although you (I assume) and I know that "booking in advance" means - on Heathrow Express (uniquely?) - you...

The first sponsored, and the first non-sponsored, result in Google for "Heathrow to London train", and variations of, are all for Heathrow Express.

Depends how often the OP travels. If it's 5 days a week, that's a saving of roughly £1k a year.

I'd argue it's not clear at all. Does this mean that even if they purchase a full price ticket right away, or in an hour's time, or that evening - they still cannot travel "today"? Does it mean if they go to the next station down the line they still "cannot travel today"? Does "cannot travel...

In a supermarket the new staff would simply login to a new checkout (probably with a new cash float) and let their colleagues finish up at another checkout, so the comparison is invalid. On Eurostar between London and Amsterdam this week there were similar announcements before Brussels that...

I was on this same train this Friday 3 March 2026, and can confirm that our itinerary (generated 20 October 2025) had an arrival time of 1757. I only noticed the arrival time had changed (to 1805) when boarding in Amsterdam.

The stock going through the Thameslink core is all (essentially) the same. A mix of 8 and 12 coach variants, yes, but otherwise basically identical. If you mean destinations instead of stock, then again there's not too much variation. Some exotic (!) destinations at peak hours, but otherwise...

Same as probably ~95% of all stations in the UK then? (Edit - as someone else said above, soon to be 100%)

Yes. 2 cars in the family. I use one to drive to school breakfast club, then nursery, then 18 miles to work. There is no realistic train journey possible between home and work (the only option would be an hourly bus to the train station, then a 4tph train to another station, then another 1tph...

Of course. But people might learn to drive and buy a car because they see headlines about the high price of rail fares, then only compare the ticket cost to the petrol price alone. If they could relatively easily make all their journeys by public transport alone, BUT only compare ticket to...

Right, which is why I said if ALL the journeys you make can be done using public transport, then it's probably cheaper overall to never drive even though the ticket price would be more expensive than the fuel price. Clearly if you need a car for some regular journeys anyway which can't be done...

I understand that argument but I still think they need to be considered when doing a true comparison. If the journeys you make can always be done by public transport, then you could argue it would always be cheaper to take the £25 train over the £15 petrol, because you wouldn't have had those...

But there are also things you can attempt to quantify - insurance, road tax, wear and tear on the vehicle and lease costs if you have that - as well as things which cannot necessarily be easily quantified - the cost of buying the car in the first place, cost of learning, cost of storage, your...

Would Kentish Town count? Much quieter than St Pancras, albeit KT is only a service termini, and is not at the end of a line.

Thanks all. My main question for asking was to try and work out whether, on the journey in, we might see any of the tulip fields around Lisse. Part of our trip involves a visit to Keukenhof and we're unsure whether or not to then spend some time exploring the fields or whether we will be too...

Travelling on Eurostar soon between London and Amsterdam and am curious which route it takes after departing Rotterdam towards Amsterdam Centraal? Does the train continue in the same direction but turn immediately right towards Haarlem, entering Amsterdam Centraal from the west - or does it...

What you receive will not be a fine. It will be a sum of money the train operating company believe you evaded - ie what you should have paid anyway to use their services, plus reimbursement for their costs of investigating you.
