Through security and passport control at St Pancras and now waiting to board. Super smooth and impressively quick, no queue at all. This is how international travel should feel.

Next stop Brussels on Eurostar, then onwards by night train into Central Europe. The rail adventure continues.

Just boarded and waiting for departure. Doors closed, everything on time, and that quiet pre-departure buzz in the carriage. Next stop Brussels, with night trains and Central Europe to follow.
