Well, the Eurostar was as expected: dated luxury and passengers returning to their allocated seats after a fresh lot of Paris bound travellers board at Ebbsfleet. Of course it was dark as I left London (in fact, dark all the way) so still don't know where or how the train traverses the Thames although obviously it must do so now it goes from St Pancras.
I've started having some thoughts about charity and different approaches but I'm trying not to formalise my thoughts on the subject yet as although this trip is all about my experiencing charitable and voluntary work at the coal face, as it were, it's only day one.

The train crosses the Thames via a tunnel just north of Ebbsfleet, close to Gravesend.
ReplyDeleteMy favourite bit of trivia about the Channel Tunnel Rail Link, now portentously named High Speed 1, is that it only takes 10 minutes to get from the River Medway bridge to the Channel Tunnel.
