Does anyone have any thoughts on the thinking behind such a layout?

Buongiorno a tutti. I'm on the sleeper train at the moment, there was 750ml of water in my single cabin when I got on. The guard/attendant asked last night if I would like breakfast (what a question!) and I was just served a decent espresso, one of those sub standard long life croissants, a...

I plan on spending a day and an evening next week in either Brindisi or Lecce - depends on what time I get off the sleeper train... I've not been to either before so would be interested in thoughts on what each is like close to the station and if there is any special transport of interest...

I've done this half a dozen times with a standard class Interrail. It may have changed - the last time I did it was 2024 - but one didn't need to use a travel day, one just needed to have a pass that had been activated. This meant that it was not a problem if one had used a day or more to...

I've visited 80% of the stations mentioned above whilst crossing Europe. Whilst I recognise some of the issues mentioned, I've never felt uneasy about visiting any of them.

Is Allaboard a retail site? It invites me to "Join now and become a reseller of European train tickets and rail passes.".....

It appears as though it did - I submitted a complaint 2 hours ago and Trenitalia emailed 10 minutes ago asking for my bank details....

I did the journey both ways in Spring this year. On the way back from Türkiye, the attendant did look a bit surprised when I asked him to let me off at Dimitrovgrad. I'd bought a ticket to Sofia as I was playing with the idea of going past Dimitrovgrad then returning in order to avoid the long...

I applied for compensation relating to a train from Como to Venice that was diverted and ended at Milano Centrale. I got confirmation of my application from, "trenitalia_risponde@trenitalia.it" on 4 July. It says that I can't reply to that email address. Does anyone have any thoughts on what I...

Thanks for everyone's suggestions - decided on Como in the end as it's the simplest. And no sign of Bus Substitutions between Mulhouse and Como or between Como & Venice..... I'll remember the other suggestions though for when I'm travelling solo.

We can take whichever route suits best... Como is a good suggestion, thank you. 1749833488 Do I recall that one can avoid reservation fees for our Interrail passes by changing trains in Lugano?

Thanks for mentioning Basel but I was thinking of somewhere a bit cheaper and somewhere that splits the journey more equally...

I was filling in some gaps on an interrail trip to Venice early next week and only just now notice that there is a bus replacement service between Tirano and Milan.... Extra annoying as I already booked accommodation in Tirano but never mind. We'd probably chose not to do the Bernina Express...

I wasn't able to buy it until I got to the International ticket office at Ruse at lunchtime on the day of the trip. I didn't know that I would get a compartment to myself until I got on the train at Dimitrovgrad. On the way back, I decided to use an Interrail day and bought the reservation at...

I was looking at the Astra Trans Carpatic train which according to their website leaves at 2030hrs - is the train from Ruse likely to be delayed 3 hours? 1742919453 Also, is there an option to stay on the sleeper from Halkali for a stop or two and then double back to Dimitrovgrad? 1743073423...
