We will shortly head off down there to catch-it, will make it a long night!

30 mins at the moment. Doesn’t seem that busy though!

Suffered this at 07.00 this morning. Slow customers effort with the 4 extra stations closed and maxed out security lane checks. It put us an hour behind schedule all the way down.

Arrived early at 14:30 for a 17:20 booking and waved through onto the first train. Never seen it so quiet. This morning must have been peak LM.

Bloody customers!

Only delay I had was slightly slow passport checks - but from first call mid-pee still made about 3 carriages from the front of the train. The 06:50 train. Did something major happen between that and the 7:00 train? I mean I was even in one of the slow lanes, where the "We need to use the same swab on 8 cars for, like, terrorism and stuff" queue can be built, processed, and released ahead of the 'normal' queue.

Worst queues I saw were the "There's a lot of people wanting breakfast this morning, is something on (like the closed 'Welcome Le Mans people' thing might suggest)?" ones.
