We all know the issue of not being able to wear a Kirpan on a plane but does anyone know of any issues with wearing one on the Eurostar train? i.e do they have metal detectors? security checks? etc..

I'm going to Brussels on Sunday and just wanna make sure I don't run into any problems.

Gurfateh Ji,

Yes, they have similar security to the airport. You will have to pass through a metal detector and also have your bags scanned. Unfortunate thing about Eurostar is that you can't check your luggage in, therefore you might not be able to carry a Sri Sahib with your luggage either.

Perhaps someone who regularly uses Eurostar could clarify how they normally deal with this?

If you can phone them up in advance only as there was a problem with one of the sevadars from erm, one of the sikh organisations coming back from france i think. I cant remember whichone but worth checking in advance by phone!!! Especially now since the stupid bombings!
