Eurostar Woes

There's nothing more fun than being stuck in the tunnel for 45 minutes due to the explosion of the freight train.

and the 4 hours queuing with well over 400 people (well, due to the mixture of europeans involved, a complete mess that doesn't resemblance a queue) at the ferry terminal trying to buy ticket from one poor girl who's the only one at the time of night dealing with the ticket.

Two things that don't seem to have anything to do with Eurostar? Did I miss something?
