Stop this unfairness because it is a 'cello'

I admit the case is longer than 85 cm but it was fine the first 15 times I travelled, just went in the overhead storage, like most other trains!

]]> Fri, 12 Feb 2016 08:55:35 UTC 19728772 https://www.gopetition.com/signature/locate/19728714?utm_medium=rss I am appalled at the the targeting by Eurostar of Cellists. In no way should a 'Cellist be obliged to purchase an accompanying ticket: "If your instrument is over 85cm long and can fit on a Eurostar seat
If you and your instrument would prefer to sit together, you can buy a companion fare ticket (in the same travel class), which means your instrument will travel on a seat in your carriage."
Such wording in no way shows any obligation to purchase a ticket for the 'Cello - it merely says "you CAN"

So as there won't be hundred of cellists in the same train, I ask That the Eurostar company allow cellists to Put their instrument on the places they fit anyway.

You should make us feel at home while traveling to our venues and not the contrary.

]]> Sun, 1 Mar 2015 11:35:29 UTC 18610704 https://www.gopetition.com/signature/locate/18487480?utm_medium=rss Sat, 31 Jan 2015 06:45:51 UTC 18487480 https://www.gopetition.com/signature/locate/18036065?utm_medium=rss The main reason I used to use Eurostar was to travel to the UK to play the cello in orchestras. With the musical instrument fee applied both ways, I simply can't afford to do this anymore, so Eurostar will be losing out on me buying at least 10 journeys per year. My cello fits easily into the overhead racks in the carriages and also into the luggage racks between the carriages (I have photos to prove this), so it is not obstructing anyone, using up any seats or causing any extra work or expense for Eurostar. I believe that the Eurostar fee is simply a money-making scam directed towards and thus discriminating against a profession whose average salary is very low. The Eurostar fee makes it very hard to organise financially viable concerts in which UK musicians (both professional and amateur) travel to France, Belgium, Holland, Germany, etc. and vice versa: this is profoundly detrimental to the cultural life of these countries - an astonishly irresponsible and self-defeating act of cultural vandalism by a company in whose interest it is to encourage European travel.

]]> Fri, 17 Oct 2014 07:05:35 UTC 18036065 https://www.gopetition.com/signature/locate/18035984?utm_medium=rss My cello, in its semi-rigid case, fits comfortably on the overhead rack with space for another bag in front of the neck section. Paying for a companion seat is unnecessary and unfair.
