Hi, Im off to Switzerland soon. Our hostel is participating in the Engadine (St Moritz / Pontresina area) Mountain Railways Included offer. I understand i get sent a pdf shortly before departure so you can use it to get to and from the hotel as well as during the stay. When should i start...

There are a couple of narrow gauge ones in Switzerland which meet funicular or cable cars but are isolated from the main network. One from les montuires to the base of the emmosson dam and another from grutschalp to murren

If yiu do use it again - and it's my preferred method - crucial bits involve being near the middle of the train for the cross platform interchange at odlxford circus and being at the back of the victoria line train to take the escalators up from the platforms rather than the ones at the other...

It's worth checking which mountain railways etc are included in the pass. I think the cable cars from fiesch etc up to the aletsch alps above are included. The higher mountain lifts from the alps up to the peaks are I believe 50%off. Switzerland can be very expensive, but there's free very nice...

There's a cable ferry across the non tidal part of the exe in exeter. Link to Wikipedia page https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Butts_Ferry

Unless it's pouring with rain it's most likely that walking or taking a bus to St Pancras will be easier than going all the way down to the victoria line and all the way back up again.

In general, you can easily get from anywhere to anywhere in Mexico by bus. Long distance routes will all have online booking and a range of comfort standards. In this part of the world ADO, Cristobal Colon and their many sub brands are all easy to find. There will also be a host of smaller...

Etr470s (ex transalpino) now in Greece?

The national rail offers guide includes "Bristol ferry" add-ons for single,return, and day use. I can't find these fares in brfares.com ... do they no longer exist or am I looking in the wrong place? https://www.nationalrail.co.uk/tickets-railcards-offers/promotions/bristol-ferry-boats/

For pure curiosity you might want to buy a slightly out of date paper timetable from European Timetable (the ex thomas cook timetable). They sell them very cheaply
