They need to take a couple of retail units out from the main concourse, expand the Eurostar departure area and fill it with extra passport booths/x-ray machines/waiting area. But £££.

I'm sure there are options, like not leaving the EU was the obvious one, but are they going to actually do anything about it? I presume the companies have leased those spots and it's a good captive audience of sardines they get to sell to every day.
My last flight I went through the business class checkin (I'm not business class but they were quiet and told me to do so), straight to the large luggage scales, smashed through security and wandered around the large airside area until my flight (which did leave late but is still half a day quicker than trains).
hippy
It's fucked now. A mate and I went over to Amsterdam last year and we were there nice and early, only to be herded into the overstuffed waiting area and then made to wait while late fuckwits for the earlier train were pushed past us in the queue. Total shitshow. I fucking hate airports but Eurostar now feels on par with the shittiest of them.
