Very interesting report by DW German television on Eurostar at 30, I didn't realize how close they came to bankruptcy during COVID. And now they are trying to swallow Thalys. Interesting that as their ridership goes up, so do the fares - logically one would expect the opposite. All the train vloggers hate that it's so much cheaper to fly than Chunnel, but it's also less convenient.
On a recent trip to London I seriously considered a quickie daytrip to Paris but the prices were just too crazy for a few hours of baguettes and berets.
