 It would be nice to hear from D71 after the trip about how the tickets were produced.

Will do when and if she gets there, might be a few days delay as we have to use Mc donalds to get a broadband connection.

Well she arrived safely and no problems. At St Pancras she used the card I made the booking with and put that into the self service machine to get her ticket, she got the Eurostar section to Lille and the TGV section Lille to Le Creusot, no problem there. Info:" make sure the person travelling uses their card to make the booking, saves our problem"

At Lille she went up to the main platform in the station, looked on the big screens for the train time and platform number, she then had to go down to another platform in the station to wait for her train, although she was concerned about the small amount of time between the trains (35min) there was in fact plenty of time as long as Eurostar haven't any delays.

Note to Idun: Thanks for the compostage tip. she was able to spot a machine quite easily.

In fact this was probably the calmest part of the day, as she tells me that we had a gas leak outside our house, and the gas people found a seepage leak in our house. She spent the morning biting her nails about when they'd be finished repairing it, and consequently left in a hurry ........ without her mobile!!!!!
