  1. yes been with saxes, guitars & recognise the luggage issues you mention, but never tried bringing a basscase on a seat like this, & just cant remember size seats, of xray machine etc; think i'd better tell Eurostar dimensions and ask 'em about the limits. Cant miss the gig!
  2. thanks for infos, glad your travel was easy with contrabassoon, couldn't find anything about leg room/seat width etc, guess I'll book the extra seat and travel with hope
  3. Touring in europe and hope to go by train. According to Eurostar rules, luggage must be less than 85cm long However there is a provision to bring "medium size" instruments (like a cello/guitar etc.) between 86- 136cm long if an extra seat is purchased.te Their site goes on to say Harps, Double Basses and other large instruments If your instrument is longer than 136cm you'll need to send it by courier. Since the neck of the upright bass we travel with is removable, and case is oblong shape 121 x 71 x 33cm, sounds like it could work for our situation. although I can imagine some stress getting the oversize "cello" case onto a seat Is there anyone out there with a detachable neck upright bass that has experience getting their instrument on Eurostar? Really appreciate any wisdom that can be passed on
