I've seen many, many threads on Eurostar in so many different forums; London, UK & Ireland, Paris, Europe, Travelbuzz, bmi, BA and Other European Frequent Flyer Programs, to name just a few - that it can be quite confusing for new members to FT to know even where to begin.

I would support the idea of a European Rail forum for such questions rather than having them posted across such a broad range of forums. Thalys is another cross-border train service which has also appeared in many different forums on many occasions.

A European Rail forum would be the perfect place for questions on these two international rail services and their individual frequent traveller programmes. German rail is another popular topic and can also be intergrated into such a forum.

With regard to UK rail travel and its complexity, a separate UK Rail sub-forum in the European Rail forum might be a good idea, otherwise just leave it where it is now - in the bmi forum.
