Getting on a coach at midnight on Wednesday, should be in Lille late morning/early afternoon.

It's going to depend on the traffic, the RS will fill the motorways as they head home from watching the Real Madrid game.

We're on the shuttle bus from charleroi airport on the Thursday morning. Does anyone have any idea how far the main square is from the bus station (lille Europe)?

 

[The old lady]

If anyone still needs to find a hotel, I just cancelled mine because it was a bit far from the centre and found and booked a twin room including breakfast near the main square for £51. Seems like a good price compared to what is left.

About a mile apparently.

Btw Grand Place is officially called Place du Général de Gaulle just in case anyone is following signs it may be signed as either

Taking my dad who's 79 as well. In Lisbon he managed to trap his hand in the exit barrier on the metro, then after the game fell down a huge set of steps near the main square - crapping myself!

Important information for anyone going on EUROSTAR for the 1st time . . .
Remember to check-in at the station at least 45 minutes before your train leaves, as you need to show your passport to both British and French officials, and then your ticket will be examined.
I've just got a worrying feeling that some fans who are travelling on it for the first time might think it's like a normal train where you turn up minutes before and board.i know most fans will know this already, but if it only helps 1 fan, then job done.

says only 30 mins on the website, we get into kings cross 54 minutes before so should be sound anyway.

You've got to laugh that the London International ticket thing says it takes 16 mins to transfer for KC to St. Pancras and says you do it by tube haha.
