Thank you, DanielB. That isn't where we were. I think we must have been on the wrong street. There was a pull-in marked "Kiss & Ride" which, I guess, is what we would call "Drop Off". As I said before, it didn't help that we don't speak German and couldn't find anyone with a decent command...

We were told by someone outside the station we had to get a bus from the park & ride to the station. I guess it didn't help that neither of us speaks a word of German. Oh well, we might be back someday. ....And if we aren't it's not the end if the world.

Today, as part of our grand tour around Europe, Mrs. suggested we try the Zillertalbahn, as we are staying nearby. We got to one of the small stations (I can't remember the name, but it's the first one after Jenbach) and there was nowhere to pay for car parking. So we drove on to Jenbach and...

As I understand it, the Frecciarossa services run by Trenitalia are booked in advance, and the Italo services are open access and your ticket us for the next available train. Well, that's how it worked for us. Ticket cost was c.27Euro per person each way. The journey time was 1hr30.

Today I travelled to Venice on a Freccerossa, and back on an Italo AGV. I have to confess my usual UK experience is limited to the ECML. But why can't we do inter-city rail travel as well as the Italians seem to? The line I travelled on isn't dedicated "high speed", but at times the trains...

They didn't turn-up?? Colour me amazed! [sarcasm off]

Thank you, pokemonsuper9. :)

Thank you, Avenger20, for the swift reply. :)

Sorry if this is basic knowledge, I'm still learning. I'm planning a trip from Newcastle to Whitby, on a Saturday morning. Officially, there is a change involved at Middlesbrough. However, 1J68 which I will be travelling on, terminates at Middlesbrough at 10:13 on platform 2. 2E11 to Whitby...

I'm no expert, but I assume that there aren't any more Webex hearings because, despite the contempt case, The Couple can't be trusted not to record the proceedings. .....Which, as we know, is illegal. Surely, if they do it again, that would mean yet another contempt case giving The Couple...

While I appreciate the sentiment behind the "drivers shouldn't be sounding the horn(s) if they're doing it to annoy/antagonise Mr.Appleby" comments, I totally agree with Falcon1200's logic.

A friend of mine managed to get a couple of tickets, and offered me the second one. :D I haven't been on either the Weardale Railway or the Bishop branch line yet. Friend is a very keen photographer, so I may have a few images of the day to share next week - if anyone's interested. I saw...

Certainly made the current situation clearer for me. Thanks both.

I understand there was another hearing today......?

I wonder what the "reason" was this time.
