Ooops… managed to get a free ticket on Eurostar as part of their testing of the new Kings Cross Line and Station. So I arrived early, booked to go on three journeys. Prepared with Laptop, 3G modem, newpaper and more importantly Coffee and Chocolate (sorry addicted).
After going through the introduction area, then through to the main entrance, I could see the security gates, all those on my train were asked to go through security to start to board the train.
While standing there behind a few test customers, I noticed the smoked glass doors open behind the check in desk, only to notice Xray machines for your bags, and Full Body Metal Detectors like those in the airport.
My heart really skipped a beat, I thought I could go through and try to explain… “yes mate, my bits are wrapped in steel pants…!”… I chickened out and left.
Bummer…
