The 3 times I've used it since the British high speed line was opened,
it's always
arrived exactly on time.

And anyway, if it's late and you miss an ongoing connection to
somewhere else, then
you simply need to ask the train manager to endorse your ticket and
then you can use
your onward ticket on the next available train... even if it it
theoretically restricted to
a specific one. (You'd need to get the ticket office at Gare de l'Est
to print you out a new
ticket, but they will provided the E* one his been endorsed to prove
the delay was their
fault). The only time you're stuffed is if you need to catch the
last
train of the day and you miss it... coz they won't pay out for a
hotel.

Next week I'll be travelling from London to Paris by Eurostar. Maybe
someone on this group who uses this route frequently could give me an
impression whether the trains on this route arrive fairly on time at
Paris-Nord.

I have to catch a connection in Paris at Gare de l'Est, which is only
a short distance to walk, but I wonder if one can make it in the 45-
minute gap between arrival and departure if my train was delayed.

Thanks,
Johannes
