So I’m stuck.

@jon I can see an argument that for channel tunnel operations, they should know the exact number of pax (or at least the maximum number of pax) for logistics in case of evacuation.
But obv that doesn't apply to Thalys services...

As if today was not bad enough, I have just been sacked by College of Europe - my oldest teaching contract - in a email that ends "Thank you for you understanding and for your cooperation". No actually. Your conduct absolutely STINKS. For more than a decade of teaching there to end like this is 🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬 #CrossBorderRail
@jon Oh no. That is terrible / disgraceful. So sorry to hear this.
-
@jon Wow, that's impressive. I misinterpreted "Eurostar" as trains connecting London to "Europe" (i.e. the old Eurostar label). Would the cross-channel connections also have more capacity if operated at max?
@leo not quite that much. But you’d get at least 75% more, educated guess.

What is the theoretical maximum number of people on a train that allows standing and doesn't require reservations?
Doesn't matter though, because for channel tunnel there must be an accurate count available because of passport control! No need for reservations.
(though I guess getting border force to share their data might be hard) -

@jon WTF !?!?!

@quixoticgeek @swaldman @jon true, but also possible border police resistance would evaporate

@jon What an unprofessional way to end something like that by email, and even worse with that sentence
I hope new unexpected opportunities will pass by soon
