Taking Our Dog from the Netherlands to Edinburgh by Train: Eurostar Experience

. From Schiphol in Amsterdam to Brussels - It's a straightforward journey: find your platform and wait for the train. Our Golden Retriever, being quite large, found it a bit cramped under the seat, but manageable. 🐕‍🦺🛤️ 2. Brussels to London on Eurostar - At Brussels, transfer for the Eurostar to London. There's a security check and passport control. We had a delay due to a broken train ahead, but luckily, Eurostar adjusted our timing with a 3-hour layover. ⏳🚆 - Dog documents were checked here, so prepare in advance. Our dog's microchip didn't scan due to brand differences, but we had our own scanner to match the documents. 📑💼 London Arrival - We took the LNER from King's Cross. It's punctual, so no need to arrive too early. The platform info might not be available until shortly before the train arrives. 🕒🚉 - For tickets, book Eurostar early on their official site for discounts. For LNER, use Trainline and get Railcards for savings on future trips. 🎟️💰 Arrival in Edinburgh - Disembarked at Waverley Station. Took an elevator up to ground level, snapped a photo at Waverley Bridge, and called an Uber with the "pet-friendly" option. 📸🐶🚖 - Payment was smooth with Apple Pay, and the fare was quite reasonable. 💳👍 Interactions Along the Way 🤝🐾 - Many people interacted with our dog, showing that Europeans generally have a fondness for animals. 🐕‍🦺💖 - Remember to bring extra dog supplies for the journey, such as plastic bags and paper towels—you know, for those unexpected moments! 🗑️🧻 #OverseasLife #TravelingWithDogs #Immigration #EurostarJourney #PetFriendlyTravel
