I'm doing this trip next week, having travelled to Amsterdam both by plane AND the stena line, I'll now be interested to see how, as a disabled passenger
( wheelchair) much it differs from my previous modes of transport.
Because I'm in a wheelchair,
I've been upgraded from standard class to standard Premium as that's aparently where the wheelchair spaces are located. TO be 100% honest, I dislike long journeys, as i find them
tiring and stressful, but from what I've seen SO far, this looks about the least troublesome way to go home.
( Amsterdam being my place of birth and where I lived for years before coming to the UK.

I'd love to travel on the Eurostar one day, it's been something I've wanted to do since it opened in 94! But the cost has always put me off. I've been to Amsterdam a few times, by flight and by ferry then driving. And for me a cheap Easyjet flight always seems the best option. The plane barely stays in the air before landing again with a total flight time of between 30-50mins. Then I hop onto a train to central station and I can be in Amsterdam in as little as two-three hours from leaving my house in Bracknell!

Everytime I go to Amsterdam (and that's many times) I always travel via Brussels Service with Eurostar, that way we can get out at Brussels Midi station and go and get a full meal before heading back to Midi to catch an InterCity train to Schiphol which is near where we stay. There are Free Airport shuttles from most hotels so it makes getting to and from the Hotel to Amsterdam Centraal so easy, okay so we have to have a small journey to the centre of Amsterdam everytime but Hey Ho I love trains

A business class flight would be on the same price point as standard premier. Although I would have lounge access and better drinks/food. Seat onboard of the plane is comfier than the train in my honest opinion. And priority access/boarding/lounge is just far better. The fact that youre seated across someone else (random) and the loudness of people is for me personally just not that interesting.
Business premier is easily 1200 for 2.
Business class with BA 600-800.

This train is a wonder and finally connects Amsterdam with London without the weak link of using Brussels and Belgian trains forwards into Holland. Going from the city centre to a city centre is the winner and the obvious space, huge luggage allowance and movement on board advantages make taking a train the best option for many. so long as you book in advance and get a cheap ticket

I think that Amsterdam is fast becoming one of the most important cities in Europe behind London and Paris as much for its handy location and that it's one of the most important hubs in Europe.
On top of that it has an extremely beautiful city, very friendly people and a great airport and a brilliant airline.
The Dutch people are so easygoing and helpful too.

Maybe you should take the chance to visit Rotterdam some day and see for yourself if it holds any real sort of appeal, if you haven't already done so.
I do know that it's the busiest port in Europe in terms of trade and also the home of Feyenoord football club but other than that I can't really tell you anything about Rotterdam from a tourists point of view.

You also mentioned Lille as a stop in France. However, the Eurostar that we took, the one at about 5 or 5. 30 pm bypassed Lille and had its first stop only at Brussels Midi. The time was exactly 2 hrs. though due to time difference, we had to advance our watches by one hour. The train then went to Amsterdam, stopping en route to Amsterdam.

The reason for the eurostar not stopping at Schiphol is that there isnt enough room for security checkpoints on the train station. The thalys does stop there however, (since it doesn't require you to go through security, compared to the eurostar service.

I used to watch Paul lucas' vids when I first started watching these travel/flight review vids, but then for whatever reason I eventually switched from watching his vids, to Noel's. So it was cool/funny to learn Noel actually knew him

The greatest appeal of Rotterdam is not only business, but it is the first mayor trainhub on this line for trains to other parts of The Netherlands in the east, southeast and northeast aswell as the nothern part of Germany.

Noel, I love your vids and am catching up on the rail playlist now. Though I can't help but point out at 4: 42, your fly is undone. Keep up with the vids. It's my little escape while I'm stuck in lockdowns in Sydney: (

I took the Eurostar from London to Paris the same year you did this video and my seat mate was a woman who fought with someone on her phone and then cried the entire way to Paris. YAY!

Would love to travel this way between Rotterdam and the UK. Shame that there's no decent, non-overpriced options to connect onwards domestically within the UK.
