Similar system to Basel where I've stayed in two separate places. However no mountains there!

The same applies in Basel and includes travel on the airport bus.

If you've got health and accident insurance then for the scenarios you describe it's principally the responsibility of the operator. Yes it's likely to be a hassle but probably less of a hassle than claiming on insurance. You'll probably have a hefty excess so the money you can claim could be a...

Yes. It's the first time I'd seen the road clear of anything but buses. Perhaps I should have initially removed the word "unauthorised" though I suppose that deliveries are still allowed so they would be authorised to do their business but not "park"?

Even though the electronic trailer advert announcing it (corner of Leith St) facing east bound drivers makes no mention of westbound only. Confusing for everyone. 1786785154 I was thinking the same thing but yesterday early afternoon (Friday) there wasn't an unauthorised parked vehicle to be...

..and it's only 0900-2000 according to the website.

Only you can answer your question! I was in Cologne last month and visited Trier, Aachen, Worms and Speyer by train because they all have very interesting cathedrals. They were a big attraction for me. It might bore you rigid!

In part. Lots of pop up seating for bars on the edges of the road.

I'd echo the comments on Brig/Andermatt/Goschenen. The old Alpine route over the Gotthard via Goschenen, avoiding the base tunnel has an excellent quality of service yet was very quiet when I used it a couple of weeks ago. You could probably do a day trip from Basel down to Bellinzona or maybe...

Rotterdam Central to Dordrecht is now rail replacement bus every 10 mins (journey time 30 mins). NS app and Interail app have the same information so it's good that Interail has been updated.

Rotterdam Blaak station is a ghost town. No staff. As far as I can tell there's an express bus to Dordrecht from Central but no mention on the monitors of anything at Blaak. My Dutch isn't good enough to work out whether rail tickets are allowed on trams - the member of staff on Monday afternoon...

Currently in Rotterdam and on a day trip to Den Bosch via Utrecht. The Amsterdam - Paris Eurostar diverted via Utrecht is on the adjacent platform as I write this in Utrecht. Passengers from Rotterdam are being sent via this route. I assume the same is happening for London bound passengers? I...

I saw way up the thread someone having to make decisions about travelling to London for onward Eurostar to France? For anyone else in the same predicament it may be some reassurance that it's been 36C every day since last Wednesday in southern Germany (4 days) and Switzerland and there has been...

Maybe the easiest booking experience will be doing it at the station on arrival? If there's a problem you can ask someone. Why bother to do it in advance just in case something crops up and you do not travel that day.

On Wednesday on the 0700 from Waverley. Surprised to get the cold drinks distributed 10 minutes before departure. Food order taken and hot drinks within 10 mins of departure.
