I was in there last night and found it quite surprising. It looks really awkward, basically a trolley stood in the middle of the room with flasks of hot drinks, a few biscuits, crisps and cans of coke!

I see there's now a A4 note on the door apologising for the temporary arrangements until the move. AFAIK there isn't an EC employee on the front desk anymore, so pax who know the lounge is there are going in. Of course, EC have already taken the lounge sign from the front window!

Yes, sorry, I wasn't aware that these tickets existed and I admit that.

Apologies,

Many thanks I have updated the guide with your image. I have had to crop Happy Jack from the image to protect the innocent.

I have a picture of the Leicester lounge taken from my laptop webcam. It is not very clear but is better than nothing. Please resize as required.

It is, actually, the two ladies who work it are very welcoming, and good company.

Sorry that's my fault, I only added that when the above posted. I did note it in your post before but it genuinely slipped my mind.

Yes permitting you are under 16. Note that some lounges do not permit under 18s to enter while travelling alone.

In whose lounges does this rule apply? My 15 year old cousin (who's mad about trains, particularly 1st class) is coming to visit from abroad and I suggested that he goes off and travels somewhere on a cheap Virgin/EC/EMT AP.
