I am due to travel to Marseille next week for our Champions League game. My ticket came through yesterday and I was proper excited actually. I'd be leaving Newcastle around 4pm on the Monday, arriving into London around 7. Going out for a few beers round London town and staying at
Dan's house overnight.
6.55 train out of St Pancras station, changing in Paris for the TGV to Marseille. Day on the drink in Marseille, game of footy, Champions League knockout qualification and a good piss up.
Anyway, that was the plan til I heard of the train strike in France. I knew there had been one effecting the Paris Metro recently. Apparently its been on the news that there will be a general strike next Tuesday and Weds.
Fucking brilliant.

I am waiting to hear back if there's any point in going now as I dont want to get to Paris only to find I cant get anywhere.
