EUROSTAR

I DO NOT RECOMMEND EUROSTAR

And I will continue to not recommend Eurostar until Eurostar properly compensate me for the suffering I endured on a journey back to London some time ago.

I can forgive a railway company for a train being five and a half hours late. But I find it much harder to forgive discrimination against disability and various other things which I could go into much more detail about.

I'm also unimpressed by the ineffective "complaints procedure" at LTUC which appears to always support the train company and not the customer.

In my opinion, it would be better if the Channel Tunnel operation were to be opened up to competition by different service providers.

In comparative terms, flying is often cheaper, and faster. And the views are better! See Air France. Going by sea is cheaper, with much better views, and it's more easy-going. See P&O cross channel ferry

But, if you'd still like to travel through the Tunnel, you could have visited City Breaks (pre 2007). I won't be signing up to Eurostar's direct affiliate program until this is all sorted out. Customers, make your own minds up, and vote with your feet!

Extra note added on one year anniversary of the problem I have still not been compensated for!: Risk of terrorist attacks on Eurostar

Shame be upon you, Eurostar, if you thought that the individual does not matter!

Justice is seen in action here. If Eurostar had done the right thing I would now be PROMOTING Eurostar by an affiliate link here on a dedicated page saying how the company had respected the truth and the feelings of the customer!
