All seats booked and it’s standing only in all carriages so I’ll buy a coffee and sit in the on-board cafe. Saves about €1.50 on last-minute seat reservation.

Now on board Eurostar to London. No notification of any delays so still on for an 11pm-ish arrival into Newcastle.

Left Hamburg at 8am. Arriving into London at 7pm. Still got another three hour train journey, but not until 8pm so everything so far has been worked to plan.

And in early, too. Left Hamburg at 8am and now pulling into Newcastle at ten to eleven. #stayontheground

What are your top tips for researching these sorts of trips? I’ve likely got regular opportunities for work in Berlin & Frankfurt for the next few years, but if I can’t figure out the travel without flying, I’ll have to turn them down.
