Car rental return location with easy London, St Pancras transfer?
"Roland Perry" wrote in message ... The problem is that he may already have his Eurostar ticket from StPancras. Not many trains stop at Ebbsfleet, and by all accounts it's very difficult to find from the motorway. That shouldn't be a problem provided a) the train stops there and b) he lets Eurostar know in advance that he intends to join the train at Ebbsfleet instead of St Pancras - at least that was the advice I was given when I asked about joining a train at Ashford instead of Waterloo. If you don't do (b) you're flagged as a 'no-show' at St Pancras and the ticket won't be valid at Ebbsfleet. D A Stocks |

In the old days it wasn't required (I often seemed to end up with a Waterloo ticket, but getting on the train at Ashford). Although this was First Class and the staff would grumble about having to do a second sitting service. - at least that was the advice I was given when I asked about joining a train at Ashford instead of Waterloo. If you don't do (b) you're flagged as a 'no-show' at St Pancras and the ticket won't be valid at Ebbsfleet. And it doesn't help him find the station given the lack of signposts :( Otherwise, it's probably as good a plan as leaving the car a Heathrow. -- Roland Perry |

I would advise against thinking about a Heathrow drop-off though, you pay a lot more for that. You do? In the places I've rented, you pay extra for airport _pickup_, but airport dropoff is no extra charge. |
