Just seen that a new fast train link is planned to run from London, St Pancras International railway station to Bordeaux. L.G.V Sud Europe Atlantique. It will take just 4 hours from station to station. That is fantastic for those who do not like flying or driving such a long way. No airport 2 hours pre wait, and the trains are very comfortable and have plenty of room for luggage unlike our British counterparts. There will be 3 classes. From St Pancras it will link up in Paris with the also new line from Paris to Bordeaux which will only take 2 hours! instead of the current 3.5 hours. This latter line will be opened next year. Not sure when the total journey will become available. It will make the journey almost a hop and a skip!! exciting.....
