Actually you need to be going at a hell of a lick to do it in 2:15. But Eurostar say they can do it in that time on at least one service a day. On the other hand there's a 30 minute check-in. Plus you need to get to the check-in at St P... -- William Black Free men have open minds If you want loyalty, buy a dog...

I can't convince her of this as she said she had ridden the train and the actual trip only took 20 minutes. strange

It's just 50 km (30 miles) and thus easily passed in 20 minutes - even though AFAIK it's more like 30 to 40 minutes.
