Ski Train during the day Ashford to Aime La Plagne

Hi all I have just booked to go to La Plagne thru crystal ski by Eurostar boarding at Ashford somehow was cheaper than London departure we were prompted to try this method of travel after a disastrous journey all round last year diverted flight and delays delays!
Has anyone got experience of ski train want to know what kind of security u go through was it easier than airport also they mention no weight restriction on luggage although u obviously have to carry it on board so can't weigh like a bus!
Alcohol restrictions for during the day is 1 bottle of wine per person is this strict do they check ? Any info appreciated also transfer to resort time info would be good if anyone experienced cheers

We've used the ski train twice (day version). One of the trips was standard, the other standard premier. We found the latter to be much more comfortable (and quiet!) but of course this costs more.

I think the eurostar check in is normally 45 mins but they do say 1 hour for the ski train. Check in is pretty similar to taking a flight. The queueing was reasonably swift for us. Large items of luggage go at the end of each car and the space does end up being fairly jam packed. Lifting heavy bags from the platform up into the train takes some effort.

About 30 mins taxi ride up to La Plagne.

We enjoyed it although it does mean a very early start because of where we live. We contemplated it for our upcoming trip to Val d'Isere but it was just too expensive for a family of 4 unfortunately.

Hi,
I've been on the train a couple of times. They're not strict about the drink as long as you don't get blind drunk (as a couple of the passengers were).
