@Eurostar Going home with my daughter tomorrow to be with our family. This is absolutely wreckless, who does a surprise strike 36 h before the réveillon. You have none of our sympathy and you’re just punishing us (we have already paid extortionate prices) for your own gain. Shame on you

we find an increasing trend in use of 1-3 GDP thresholds, that a third of studies using this threshold use 3x GDP and that positive recommendations are more likely when using GDP compared to other thresholds
