You could always complain:

I did after their failure to sell tickets at St. Pancras and announcing the WWODP on 22/12/2007.

I think that we should do what we can to get them to improve their service. After all, we all want the resort to succeed.

I wouldn't get your hopes up too much, the announcements are just plain bad with info on the disney express :lol: . I nearly had a fit one time when I heard Wonderful World of Disney Parade mentioned last summer haha.

These new trains though are more than welcome for people, such as myself who live up north and have to travel several hours to get to London. With the new earlier time than the train was at Waterloo it has become rather harder to catch the train, with the need for all night travelling on a bus or hope the very early train arrives on time into Kings Cross.

we always travel eurostar and we have never had a problem and had a great experience everytime, we are using them again in september, hopefully these new train times will let even more people enjoy the magic

We have travelled with Eurostar since the service started and never had any problems although I do understand your "luggage" problem given the route you have to follow around the Eurostar station. However I am a little surprised they do not offer a book in advance assistance service as you can book on the UK rail network

I welcome the news of an additional train each day which shows how popular this service is becoming; it must open up Eurostar travel for most of England & Wales. Sadly for us it's still not possible to travel from my home in Cumbria on the day to catch the new service (we would arrive at Euston 12:29).

i had booked assistance when i booked my tickets. i booked them online then phoned up and requestied it. what they said is that you cant book assistance, but when you arrive at the station ask and you WILL recieve. in london most definatly but not in marne-la-vallee. it really did put a big dampner on what had been a really good holiday.

Great news, especially for me as I have to get to London from Guernsey.

I'm from Jersey! I know they've just started doing flights from Jersey to Paris which is great, they may even start them from Guernsey soon - fingers crossed lol. I went to DLRP years ago when they used to fly direct from Jersey to Chrles de Gaulle. Then they stopped and you had to fly from Jersey to London, then from London to Paris. Seems silly to me!!!

Us poor channel islanders eh?! Anyone would think they didn;t want us leaving!!

do you think this is just for the summer or is it a tester to see if the extra train would be worth it to put on all year :?:

CJNorth · April 04, 2008, 02:26:02 PM

Yes I think it's a test just like the original direct Eurostar service which only ran at peak Disney times on certain days.

If the additional service is popular this summer I'm sure it will return next summer and possibly at other peak times like Christmas.

You never know if its really popular in a few years time we may have two daily Eurostar services all year round.
