Most of what you describe is not because they want to make train travel like air travel, but because the UK never signed the Schengen Agreement (so they need to check and stamp passports) and because of Brexit (so they need to inspect baggage for import/exports), unlike train routes between other EU/Schengen destinations.
- cm2187 3y agoI didn't notice a change in baggage inspections. The inspection occurs when you leave the terminal in London, but that's not blocking, like in airports, you just walk through unless you are one of the few unlucky ones. In 15 years it only happened to me once, and that was before Brexit (they mostly search for drugs and other illegal products).
