I prefer trains to flying, and I am a pilot!

I would, however, respectfully question the economy of time in travelling Schiphol to London after a flight from the far east. It is 2hrs45 from AMS to Brussels south, followed by a 30 minute check-in for Eurostar, and then 2hrs to St Pancreas. All in all 5hrs15mins for a journey that takes 45 mins by air, followed by the same to get through LHR.

As romantic a traveller as I am, that does not add up.......

Wally.
