Eurostar full journey Paris Gare du Nord to London St Pancras International 30/09/2025

Journey back to London from Paris onboard 374003/374004 (4003/4004) as ES 9055, the 9O55 19h08 from Paris Gare du Nord non-stop to London St Pancras International (20h30). 4003 was at the London end while 4004 was at the other end. I was in the doorway of Coach 5 before moving to the doorway of Coach 4 as they had once again swapped from an e300 to an e320. This is also my last Eurostar journey before the launch of the European Entry Exit System (EES) on 12th October 2025. Information regarding EES - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Entry/E... and https://travel-europe.europa.eu/ees It also got dark outside later in the journey (about an hour after leaving Paris) so I couldn't see the Fretin triangle between Haute-Picardie TGV and Lille. Maybe if I do this route again during the day I'll be able to see the Fretin triangle, or maybe if I do one of the ex Thalys routes on a PBA/PBKA set, although there are rare occasions of an e320 operating on the ex Thalys routes instead of the usual PBA/PBKA sets. On trains to/from London, Coach 1 is at the London end while Coach 16 or 18 is at the other end, the Paris/Brussels/Amsterdam end. Departing from London - Coach 1 is at the back while Coach 16 or 18 is at the front. Arriving into London - Coach 1 is at the front while Coach 16 or 18 is at the back. Travelling on the ex Thalys routes? Coach 1, 11 or 21 is at the southern (Paris) end while Coach 8, 18 or 28 (or 16 on the rare occasion that e320s slip onto the ex Thalys network) is at the northern (Amsterdam or Cologne/Köln) end.
