Default Eorostar tickets through the net

Does anyone have experience of buying Eurostar tickets through their
website? I had a very frustrating experience today as it insisted that
my email address was invalid, despite having successfully sent a
message to exactly that address earlier in the day. Fortunately there
is an SNCF (French Railways) office not far from where I live, and I
can buy Eurostar tickets there.

I've done it, often, without problems (well, without that problem). Did
you specify your location or starting point as a different country from
the one where you have your email?

No. My email address has .fr, I was accessing it from France, and I
entered a home address in France.

In a few minutes I'll go to the SNCF office and see if I can do it
there. It'll probably be more expensive, but if it avoids all the
frustration with the web site I'll put up with it.

you have one without any usual characters, pershaps you could try that
instead.


No, it's as simple an address as you could imagine -- maybe not as
simple as academic addresses in Spain tend to be, of the form
, but getting there. No strange characters.

In your signature, you say: "John Peel is not enough". I was at school
with John Peel, but I didn't know him. I knew his borther, who was my
age.
