  5. Coming home last night I managed a 4 minute platform-to-platform transfer from #Eurostar to #SouthEastern at #StPancras (I might have ran…) which got me home an hour earlier than planned.

    Even managed to say a friendly "Hello" to the very bored looking customs people in the way out of Eurostar before legging it up the station.

  9. Ok, so I have a hot take for you. The passenger experience at #Eurostar #StPancras is, at best, mediocre. Above you, out of sight is the amazing train shed, but you can’t see that when you’ve checked in, because you’re kept in the dungeon , waiting for time to board, which is 20 minutes before departure, but we’re implied to arrive 80 mins before departure and as a result, the dungeon is over full, with just two trainloads of pax. Competition can’t come soon enough. 4/n

  14. By a coincidence, yesterday, we were watching the French women’s #Rugby team play in the #WorldCup and today, here we are in #Paris. We decided to come by #Eurostar which means avoiding flying and is a much greener and altogether more pleasant and convenient way to travel. Who says #Britain is an island where you can get on a #train at #StPancras station and within two and a half hours, your at the #GareDuNord right in the middle of Paris?

  19. Solar Panels at the British Library

    Image courtesy of the British Library

    The British Library has installed solar panels on its roof, which went live last year.

    The panels are a mixture of solar hot water, and some solar electricity. The installation was especially tricky because the Library building is Grade 1 listed (the highest level), and the new solar panels weren’t allowed to be seen from the street.

    In the past 12 months, they have generated 186 MWh of heat, and 14.8 MWh of electrical energy.

    The British Library needs a lot of heat to generate steam which allows them to closely control the humidity levels inside, which is required to help preserve the historical documents that they store.

    The British Library is aiming to be Net Zero carbon emissions by 2050.

  21. @jon #Gemini have been in the UK press this week promoting a Stratford-Ebbsfleet-Europe competitor to #Eurostar again. Difficult to see how they can finish/reverse/start at #Stratford without major track works, running empty into #StPancras and back out, or resignalling the Camden Road ramp to enable HS1-only stock on it. Then there's the problem of fitting border posts into Stratford's constrained pre-Brexit station space.
