Julia may I ask a question about Eurostar please? Will JY have a block booking of seats together on the train or will we all receive our own "tickets" when the final information comes through?

I'm lucky that East Midlands Trains come straight into St Pancras and we have a pretty regular service during the week day but I am still wondering about booking an overnight hotel. I was wondering whether anyone on the forum has done this before.

Also is food/drink on Eurostar very expensive?

Thanks as always.

We make a group booking on Eurostar but I understand that individual tickets will be included in your final documents.

Food on board is supplied by Waitrose. It’s not especially expensive, albeit not the price of a supermarket - more in line with a service station pricing. If you have upgraded to Standard Premier class, included in the price is a small meal each way, as well as drink (includes alcohol), plus of course, larger reclining seats.

Kindest regards,

Julia

I have booked a Premium seat as I have travelled this way once before. Thought I would pay the extra as it is the only time I get an upgrade :)

I do hope that more people book for September as I will be very disappointed if the trip does not go ahead. I can't to May as am going to Namibia.

Julia - what is the maximum number you need for the trip to go ahead?

The team have just been crunching the numbers on this and I have been informed that ideally we'd need around 12-15 travellers for this trip to be given the green light. You are now up to 5 and as it is a short break we find that travellers book this type of holiday closer to departure.

Hope this helps,

Kindest regards,

Julia

Does this mean the 8th May is all systems GO!!!!!!!!!

Jan...OH Please do give a regal wave, and I hope that us in the cheap seats wont be a dissapointment to you !!! when we meet at the other end!!!

Cindy

It hasn't been given the green light on the system yet - but as they were number crunching yesterday and given the numbers it should be very soon.

Kindest regards

From St Pancras International it is listed as 10:55hrs.

As usual, I must stress that this is provisional and rail timings would be confirmed in your final documents.

Kindest regards,

Julia
