Eurostar moves to St Pancras station today, and every day, except next Feb 29th

Wednesday, November 14th, 2007

Eurostar, the London to Paris train company, have today “moved house” and trains are now running to St Pancras station rather than to London Waterloo.

This is pretty big news in the UK - St Pancras is a wonderful station and has just completed a major refit. Take a look at the nice virtual tour (complete with virtual humans).

So from now onwards Eurostar trains will be running into this station. Well from now onwards until February 28th next year. And then again from the 1st of March.

Lets see what happens if we put in February 29th 2008….

Umm…… oh dear

I hope this isn’t a backend system error rather than a JavaScript validation problem. Otherwise this may not be a quick fix.
