Eurostar bastards
7.39pm departure for Paris, stopped outside Ashford for 4 hours, back to London for 2am, taxis to take you to hotels, but hotels denying reservations exist. Marvellous. One lady, who was planning to celebrate her birthday in Paris, was taken away in handcuffs, because she was a shouty drunk.


It's now 4.30am, I have been here since 7pm. I have been lied to several times by the same member of staff, who is the most obnoxious, rude, arrogant, jumped-up little jobsworth turd that I have ever that the misfortune to encounter. He repeatedly told me that tickets would be reissued at 5am, and not before, but then did exactly that, about 3 seconds later.


He was confronted by a queue of people that was 500+ long, and had the temerity to be more than one person wide. He wanted a single-file queue. He was shouting at people that he was simply going to stop to helping people. Eventually, he just said "I'm not doing this, I'm knackered".


Not the right thing to say to that crowd. I think he's still alive. If anyone on here has ANY power in the world of Eurostar's HR department, please fire him, for the sake of humanity.


One of my friends has now missed being the witness at her friend's civil wedding at 11am.


Eurostar -- a useless shower of arse.


And breathe out...

Jesus...
I was on the Eurostar just last weekend and it was a perfectly smooth ride all the way to Brussels. Do they just have a policy to ensure that something like one in every ten journeys is a cock-up of cosmological proportions?

My sympathies.
