    Rail bosses spend £10,000 a week on flights – because it’s cheaper than trains

    What was it that made the journey so long? 1691333198 Surely London is a central point? By train anyway. Travelling North to South is far quicker than East to West

    Thanet Parkway updates

    From the looks of things, they are supposed to also stop, although I didn’t notice any and I was there most of the day

    Thanet Parkway updates

    True lol 1690804113 The only services that have called at Thanet Parkway all day are 395s via Canterbury West running to and from Margate. Nothing heading to Sandwich has called. Every Electrostar has passed though non stop.

    How long in advance to arrive for Eurostar

    True, although I have never had an issue before. I will probably avoid Eurostar until a solution to the lengthly queues is found. Not reasonable or practical to demand people arrive so early, nor morale to state the gates close

    How long in advance to arrive for Eurostar

    The gate allowed the ticket and the staff did not quibble. Never been a requirement has it? Unless they enforce that more strongly now due to the queues since Brexit

    How long in advance to arrive for Eurostar

    moderator note - split from https://www.railforums.co.uk/threads/utilising-civ-with-eurostar.251958/ To be pedantic I have been through the gates 20 minutes before. Business Premier passengers are allowed through 10 minutes before too. It is a suggestion, not requirement although they have...

    Extent of London, 'basically London', and the commuter belt

    No, we are not saying that at all. I am saying that some places with London postcodes (because the post town is a London borough as is the case with Enfield) include places that are not in London. That was my point you see. I read post 68 thanks. Anyway, have a good evening

    Extent of London, 'basically London', and the commuter belt

    Well that wasn’t made clear, context is easily lost in text form I didn’t see what the joke was, or that you were speaking about an inside joke with friends The only true London postcodes are those of compass points. But save that for another discussion and leave you to continue your joke…
