Log in to snowHeads to make it MUCH better! Registration's totally free, of course, and makes snowHeads easier to use and to understand, gives better searching, filtering etc. as well as access to 'members only' forums, discounts and deals that U don't even know exist as a 'guest' user. (btw. 50,000+ snowHeads already know all this, making snowHeads the biggest, most active community of snow-heads in the UK, so you'll be in good company)..... When you register, you get our free weekly(-ish) snow report by email. It's rather good and not made up by tourist offices (or people that love the tourist office and want to marry it either)... We don't share your email address with anyone and we never send out any of those cheesy 'message from our partners' emails either. Anyway, snowHeads really is MUCH better when you're logged in - not least because you get to post your own messages complaining about things that annoy you like perhaps this banner which, incidentally, disappears when you log in :-)

Snow train
 Poster: A snowHead

Hi all,

Just 5 weeks to go til our skiing holiday and really cant wait!

This year we've booked to go on the direct eurostar service to Bourg and was wondering how manic St Pancras gets on the Saturday morning. We've booked Standard Premium class seats and with this it says that we only have to be there 30 minutes before, but dont want to be rushed etc so was wondering realistically how much we should be there beforehand.

Also is there somewhere to get some breakfast, bearing in mind we'll have luggage, boots bags etc with us.

Thanks

Hi the one thing St Panacras has lots of is places for breakfast, there is sourced market, Paul, Carluccios and more pub wit all of them you will be OK with luggage. If your in the queue 30 minutes before hand you will be fine once through chck in there is a large waiting area with WH Smiths and from memory a coffee shop, we didn't spend to long in there, we too went standard premier but on the overnight service .

There's coffee bar type places after check-in, you can get light breakfast stuff. It can get a little crowded, apparently (last time I went I still had my business lounge pass, so I didn't mix the the hoi poloi). Of primary concern to you should be munchables and general refreshments for the journey down. There are tow M&S shops at St P. Depending on the size of the group a couple of wine boxes should be adequate. I see they are calling it standard premier again, rather than "Leisure Select", you do get a bit of food and wine, but not nearly enough for warming up for a ski holiday!

It's crowded and busy but I've never encountered significant queues to get through the passport luggage check area, which is the only bottleneck apart from actually getting on to the train. For my own stress levels, I would say 30 mins was pretty tight (I like to have some contingency factored in, so if 30 mins is the cut-off I would want to aim to get there before that) but it depends on whether you are traveling alone or with children or meeting a bigger group etc.
